by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)

Muxi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Muxi, kak chyorny'e my'sli, ves` den` ne dayut mne pokoyu:
Zhalyat, zhuzhzhat i kruzhatsya nad bednoj moej golovoyu!
Sgonish` odnu so shheki, a na glaz uzh uselas` drugaya,
Nekuda spryatat`sya, vsyudu czarit nenavistnaya staya,
Valitsya kniga iz ruk, razgovor upadaet, bledneya…
E`x, kaby' vecher pridvinulsya! E`x, kaby' noch` poskoree!

Chyorny'e my'sli, kak muxi, vsyu noch` ne dayut mne pokoyu:
Zhalyat, yazvyat i kruzhatsya nad bednoj moej golovoyu!
Tol`ko progonish` odnu, a uzh v serdce vpilasya drugaya, —
Vsya vspominaetsya zhizn`, tak besplodno v mechtax prozhitaya!
Xochesh` zaby't`, razlyubit`, a vsyo lyubish` sil`nej i bol`nee…
E`x! kaby' noch` nastoyashhaya, vechnaya noch` poskoree!
