Do luchshikh dnej!— pered proshchan'em
Language: Russian (Русский)
«Do luchshikh dnej!» — pered proshchan'em, Pozhav mne ruku, ty skazal; I dolgo `eti dni ja zhdal, No byl obmanut ozhidan'em!.. Moj milyj! ne pridut oni, V grjadushchem schastija tak malo!.. Ja pomnju radostnye dni, No vsjo, chto pomnju, to propalo. Byloje bespolezno nam. Takov majak, poroj nochnoju Nad burnoj bezdnoju morskoju Manjashchij k vernym beregam, Kogda na lodke, odinokij, Nesetsja trepetnyj plovec I vidit — bereg nedalekij I blizhe vidit svoj konec. Net! obol'stit' mechtoj naprasnoj Bol'noje serdce mudreno; Jedva niskhodit son prekrasnyj, Uzh prosypajetsja ono!
