by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Kogda odni vospominan'ja
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kogda odni vospominan'ja O dnjakh bezumstva i strastej Namesto slavnogo nazvan'ja Tvoj drug ostavit mezh ljudej, Kogda s nasmeshkoj jadovitoj Osudjat zhizn' jego poroj, Ty budesh' li jego zashchitoj Pered beschuvstvennoj tolpoj? On zhil s ljud'mi kak by s chuzhimi, I spravedliva ikh vrazhda, No khot' vinoven pered nimi, Tebe on veren byl vsegda. Odnoj slezoj, odnim otvetom Ty mozhesh' smyt' ikh prigovor, — Ver'! Ne postyden pered svetom Toboj oplakannyj pozor!
