by Ivan Petrovich Myatlev (1796 - 1844)

Oblako
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak bystro oblako bezhit!
Ono sejchas lunu zakrojet,
Moj put' vechernij omrachit,
I serdce veshcheje zanojet.

Jest' v zhizni tozhe oblaka,
I radost' zhizni tozh taitsja,
Kogda neschastija ruka
Vnezapno na serdce lozhitsja.

No veter oblako umchit,
Luna po-prezhnemu sijajet,
Moj put' vechernij serebrit,
I tomnyj sumrak ischezajet.

Akh, jesli b zhizni oblaka
Pogoda tak zhe unosila,
I naletevshaja toska
Navek by serdce ne klejmila!
