Davno‑l` zhelanny'j mir
Language: Russian (Русский)
Davno l` zhelanny'j mir ya zval k sebe, toskuya, Lyubil i proklinal lyubvi svyatuyu vlast`, Davno li iz cepej ya rvalsya, negoduya, — I cepi porvalis`, i minovala strast`. Lyubov` — pobezhdena, — no serdce nedovol`no. O chem ono grustit, chego emu tak zhal`? Uzheli s mukami dushe razstat`sya bol`no, Uzhel` tak dorogi ej slezy' i pechal`? Svoboda bez lyubvi — ugryumaya temnicza: Otdam ya vse, — i zhizn`, i radost`, i pokoj, No tol`ko-b vnov` lyubit` s bezumnoyu toskoyu, Stradat`, kak ya stradal, i plakat`, i tomit`sya!
