by Maria Avgustovna Davidova (b. 1863)
Ty' xochesh` znat`, zachem poroj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ty' xochesh` znat`, zachem poroj Moi usta drozhat stradan`em, I vzor tumanitsya slezoj, Vesyoly'j smex -- zvuchit ry'dan`em? I otchego stal bledny'j, xily'j, Rumyany'j prezhde, czvet lanit, I otchego v ochax uny'ly'j, A ne vesyoly'j svet gorit? Czvetet na solnce lish` czvetok I bez luchej lyubimy'x, mily'x, On klonit dolu stebelek I czvest`, i zhit` uzhe ne v silax!
