by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Зачем безвременную скуку
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Зачем безвременную скуку
Зловещей думою питать,
И неизбежную разлуку
В унынье робком ожидать?
И так уж близок день страданья!
Один, в тиши пустых полей,
Ты будешь звать воспоминанья
Потерянных тобою дней.
Тогда изгнаньем и могилой,
Несчастный, будешь ты готов
Купить хоть слово девы милой,
Хоть лёгкий шум её шагов.
