by Evdokiya Petrovna Grafinya Rostopchina (1812 - 1858)

Kak bludjaščaja kometa
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak bludjaščaja kometa,
Kak ognistyj meteor,
Kak rumjanyj luč rassveta,
Kak zapretnoj strasti vzor,

On očam moim javilsja,
Vdochnovennyj, nezemnoj,
On mel'knul i migom skrylsja,
Ovladev moej dušoj.

Kak glas lebedja proščal'nyj,
Kak vozdušnoj arfy zvon,
Kak zvuk pesni pogrebal'noj,
Kak stradal'ca slabyj ston,

On navel na molodoe
Serdce grustnuju mečtu;
On lišil ego pokoja,
V nem posejal pustotu.
