by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Bojus' ne smerti ja. O net!
Language: Russian (Русский)
Bojus' ne smerti ja. O net! Bojus' isčeznut' soveršenno. Choču, čtob trud moj vdochnovennyj Kogda-nibud' uvidel svet; Choču — i snova zatrudnen'e! Začem? čto pol'zy budet mne? Moe sveršitsja razrušen'e V čužoj, nevedomoj strane. JA ne choču brodit' mež vami Po razrušenii! — Tvorec, Na to li ja zvučal strunami, Na to li sozdan byl pevec? Na to li vdochnoven'e, strasti Menja k mogile priveli? I net v duše dovol'no vlasti — Ljublju mučenija zemli. I ėtot obraz, on za mnoju V mogilu silitsja bežat', Tuda, gde obeščal mne dat' Ty mesto k večnomu pokoju. No čuvstvuju: pokoja net: I tam, i tam ego ne budet; Tech dlinnych, tech žestokich let Stradalec večno ne zabudet!...
