by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Sožžënnoe pis'mo
Language: Russian (Русский)
Proščaj, pis'mo ljubvi! proščaj: ona velela. Kak dolgo medlil ja, kak dolgo ne chotela Ruka predat' ognju vse radosti moi!.. No polno, čas nastal. Gori, pis'mo ljubvi. Gotov ja; ničemu duša moja ne vnemlet. [Už plamja žadnoe listy tvoi priemlet...]1 Minutu!.. vspychnuli! pylajut -- lëgkij dym Vijas' terjaetsja s moleniem moim. [Už perstnja vernogo utratja vpečatlen'e, Rastoplennyj surguč kipit... O providen'e!]2 Sveršilos'! Tëmnye svernulisja listy; Na lëgkom peple ich zavetnye čerty Belejut... Grud' moja stesnilas'. Pepel milyj, Otrada bednaja v sud'be moej unyloj, Ostan'sja vek so mnoj na gorestnoj grudi...
