by Eduard Ivanovich Guber (1814 - 1847)

Duše
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Umri, zaglochni, strast' mjatežnaja,
Duši pečal'noj ne volnuj!
Ne dlja tebja, nadežda nežnaja,
Ljubvi gorjačij poceluj!
Začem ty trebueš' učastija,
Duša-stradalica moja,
Tebe l' iskat' zemnogo sčastija
V cholodnom mire, v cholodnom mire bytija,
V cholodnom mire bytija.

Ne ty l' spodobilas' stradanija
Ot junych let, ot pervych dnej?
Nesi ž svoj krest bez sodroganija,
Krasujsja jazvami skorbej!
No dolgo slovo otverženija
Volnuet plamennuju krov',
No strašno slušat' smech prezrenija
V otvet, v otvet na znojnuju ljubov',
V otvet na znojnuju ljubov'.

Dlja vsech cvetet nadežda nežnaja,
Ljubov' dlja vsech dana sud'boj;
Liš' dlja tebja, duša mjatežnaja,
Duši ne sozdano drugoj.
