by Nikolai Porfiryevich Grekov (1810 - 1866)

Слеза
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Что нужно одинокой
Слезе в глазах моих?
Она одна осталась
Как память лет былых.
Сестер ей было много...
Они все растеклись;
Мучительные ночи
Все ветром разнеслись.

И как туман, исчезли
Все звездочки мои,
Что радость в сердце лили
С страданьями любви.
И словно пар дыханья,
Прошла любовь-гроза,
Зачем же ты осталась,
Минувших лет слеза?
