Bessonnica
Language: Russian (Русский)
V chasy otradnoj tishiny Ne znajut sna pechal'ny ochi; I prizrak miloj stariny Tesnitsja v grud' so mrakom nochi; I zhivy v pamjati mojej Vesel'e, slezy junykh dnej, Vsja prelest', lozh' ljubovnykh snov, I tajnykh vstrech, i nezhnykh slov, I te krasy, kotorykh cvet Ubit grozoj - i zdes' uzh net! I skol'ko radostnykh serdec Blazhenstvu videli konec! Tak prezhneje nochnoj poroju Moju volnujet grud', I dumy, szhatye toskoju, Meshajut mne usnut'. Smotrju li vdal' - odni pechali; Smotrju l' krugom - moikh druzej, Kak zheltyj list osennikh dnej, Meteli burnye umchali. Mne mnitsja: s pasmurnym chelom Khozhu v pokoje ja pustom, V kotorom prezhde ja byval, Gde ja veselyj piroval; No uzh ogni pogasheny, Girljandy snjaty so steny, Davno raz"ekhalis' druz'ja, I v nem odin ostalsja ja. I prezhneje nochnoj poroju Moju volnujet grud', I dumy, szhatye toskoju, Meshajut mne usnut'!
