by Mirra (Mariya) Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya (1869 - 1905)

Xotela b ya svoi mechty'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Xotela b ya svoi mechty',
Zhelan`ya tajny'e i grezy'
V zhivy'e obratit` czvety', —
No: slishkom yarki by'li b rozy'!

Xotela liru ya b imet`
V grudi, chtob chuvstva, vechno yuny',
Kak pesni, stali v nej zvenet`, —
No: porvalis` by' serdcza struny'!

Xotela b ya v minutnom sne
Izvedat` sladost` naslazhden`ya, —
No: umeret` prishlos` by' mne,
Chtob ne dozhdat`sya probuzhden`ya!
