by Nikolay Vasil'yevich Berg (1824 - 1884)

Zhaloba devy'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Esli b, serdce, ty' lezhalo
Na rukax moix,
Vsyo kachala by', kachala
YA tebya na nix!

Budto mat` ditya rodnoe,
S tixoyu mol`boj,
I zasnulo b, retivoe,
Ty' peredo mnoj!

A teper`, v grudi sokry'to,
Zaperto v tyur`mu,
Ty' dostupno, ty' otkry'to
Odnomu emu!

No ne vidit on pechali.
Kak zhe s e`tim by't`?
Pozaby't` ego? Edva li
Mozhno pozaby't`.

Mchatsya gody', grust` vsyo ta zhe,
Te zhe vsyo mechty'.
Serdce! Serdce! da kogda zhe
Zdes` umolknesh` ty'?
