by Eduard Ivanovich Guber (1814 - 1847)

Pervoe priznanie
Language: Russian (Русский) 
O, poshhadi! nakazan ya dovol`no,
U nog tvoix ya kayus` pred toboj;
Dushe moej i tyazhelo i bol`no,
Izmuchen ya zhestokoyu bor`boj.

By'vali dni: nasmeshkoyu surovoj
YA poriczal mne chuzhduyu lyubov`;
No ya voskres na lone zhizni novoj,
Usta xuloj ne oskvernyatsya vnov`.

YA vinovat; ya kayus` pred toboyu!
O, uderzhi ubijstvenny'j otvet!
Progovori nad greshnoj golovoyu
Proshheniya bozhestvenny'j privet.

Tvoej lyubvi ya trebovat` ne smeyu...
Menya lyubit`, uvy'! ne mozhesh` ty'!
No ozari uly'bkoyu tvoeyu
Poroj moi pechal`ny'e mechty'.

V uly'bke toj nezhdannoyu otradoj
Povej na grud` i dushu upoi!
I budet mne zhivoj ona nagradoj
Za dolgie stradaniya moi.

I budet mne svyaty'm ona zalogom,
Chto na menya tvoj gnev ne upadet,
Chto, mozhet by't`, i nad moim porogom
Zarya lyubvi privetnee blesnet!
