by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Cevnica
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na sklone gor, bliz vod, prochožij, zrel li ty
Besedku tajnuju, gde grustnye mečty
Sidjat zadumavšis'? Nad nimi svod akacij:
Tam nekogda stojal altar' i muz i gracij
I kust prelestnych roz, vzlelejannych vesnoj;
Tam nekogda, krugom čeremuchi mlečnój
Struja svoj aromat, šumja, s pribrežnoj ivoj
Šutil podčas zefir, i rezvyj i igrivyj.
Tam nekogda moja poslednjaja ljubov'
Pitala serdce mne i volnovala krov'!..
Sokrylos' vsë teper': tak poutru tumany
Ot solnečnych lučej redejut sred' poljany.
Isčezlo vsë teper', no ty ostalos' mne,
Utecha stražduščich, spasen'e v tišine,
O miloe, duši svjatoe vspominan'e!
Tebe ž, o mirnyj krov, tech dnej, kogda stradan'e
Ne vedalo menja, ja sochranil zalog,
Kotoryj umertvit' ne možet groznyj rok,
Moe veselie, už vzjatoe grobnicej,
I ržavyj predkov meč s zadumčivoj cevnicej!
