by Semyon Yakovlevich Nadson (1862 - 1887)

Ja dolgo schast'ja zhdal – i luch jego...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja dolgo schast'ja zhdal – i luch jego zhelannyj
Blesnul mne v sumerkakh: ja schastliv i ljubim;
K chemu zh na rubezhe zemli obetovannoj
Ostanovilsja ja, kak robkij piligrim?
Za mnoj – glukhaja noch' i gody ispytanij,
Peredo mnoj – vesna, i laska, i privet,
A ja... mne tochno zhal' umchavshikhsja stradanij,
I s grust'ju ja smotrju minuvshemu vosled...

Ne nazyvaj menja bezumnym, dorogaja,
Ne govori, chto ja solgal pered toboj;
Net, ja ljublju tebja, kak mal'chik, otdavaja
Vsju dushu, vse mechty, vsju zhizn' – tebe odnoj.
No otgoloski groz nedavnego nenast'ja,
Kak golos sovesti, tverdjat dushe mojej:
«Jest' dni, kogda tak poshl venok ljubvi i schast'ja
I tak prekrasen tern stradan'ja za ljudej!..»
