Kak ot vetki rodnoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak ot vetki rodnoj list osennij poroj,
Otorvavshis', po vetru letajet;
Kak luch blednyj luny nad lazur'ju volny
Po vechernej zare dogorajet,

Tak i zhizn' zdes' moja vse grustnej den' ot dnja,
Vdal' bezbrezhnym potokom nesjotsja,
Tak i serdce mojo na chuzhoj storone
V prakh bez milykh jemu raspadjotsja.

O! Pokin'te menja, razljubite menja
Vy, nadezhdy, mechty zolotye,
Uzh mne vami ne zhit', mne vas ne s kem delit', -
Ja odin, a krugom vse chuzhije!

Mnogo muk vyznal ja, byl i drug u menja,
No uvy! My ne dolgo s nim zhili;
Tam pod chernoj sosnoj, nad shumjashchej rekoj
Druga spat' navsegda ulozhili.

Iz tolpy junykh dev mne odnoj lish' napev
V dushu sladostnej vsekh zaronilsja,
No moj perl zolotoj raz blesnul predo mnoj,
Daleko, daleko ukatilsja.

I s tekh por ja grushchu, s toj pory ne syshchu
Ja nigde i ni  v chem uteshen'ja!
I v dushe li groza, na ochakh li sleza,
Mne nikto ne darit sozhalen'ja.
