by Semyon Yakovlevich Nadson (1862 - 1887)

Ja dolgo schast'ja zhdal — i luch jego...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja dolgo schast'ja zhdal — i luch jego zhelannyj 
Blesnul mne v sumerkakh: ja schastliv i ljubim: 
K chemu-zh na rubezh zemli obevtovannoj 
Ostanovilsja ja, kak robkij piligrim?

Za mnoj — glukhaja noch' i gody ispytanij, 
Peredo mnoj — vesna, i laska, i privet, 
A ja... mne tochno zhal' umchavshikhsja stradanij, 
I s grust'ju ja smotrju minuvshemu vo sled... 

Ne nazyvaj menja bezumnym, dorogaja, 
Ne govori, chto ja solgal pered toboj; 
Bet, ja ljublju tebja, kak mal'chik, otdavaja 
Vsju dushu, vse mechty, vsju zhizn' — tebe odnoj.
