Bessonnica
Language: Russian (Русский)
V časy otradnoj tišiny Ne znajut sna pečal'ny oči; I prizrak miloj stariny Tesnitsja v grud' so mrakom noči; I živy v pamjati moej Vesel'e, slezy junych dnej, Vsja prelest', lož' ljubovnych snov, I tajnych vstreč, i nežnych slov, I te krasy, kotorych cvet Ubit grozoj - i zdes' už net! I skol'ko radostnych serdec Blaženstvu videli konec! Tak prežnee nočnoj poroju Moju volnuet grud', I dumy, sžatye toskoju, Mešajut mne usnut'. Smotrju li vdal' - odni pečali; Smotrju l' krugom - moich druzej, Kak želtyj list osennich dnej, Meteli burnye umčali. Mne mnitsja: s pasmurnym čelom Chožu v pokoe ja pustom, V kotorom prežde ja byval, Gde ja veselyj piroval; No už ogni pogašeny, Girljandy snjaty so steny, Davno raz"echalis' druz'ja, I v nem odin ostalsja ja. I prežnee nočnoj poroju Moju volnuet grud', I dumy, sžatye toskoju, Mešajut mne usnut'!
