by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

Ax! chto izgnan`e, zatochen`e!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ax! chto izgnan`e, zatochen`e!
Zaxochet — vy'ruchit sud`ba!
Chto vrag! — vozmozhno primiren`e,
Vozmozhna ravnaya bor`ba;

Kak gnev ego ni bespredelen,
On promaxnetsya v dobry'j chas…
No toj ruki udar smertelen,
Kotoraya laskala nas!..

Odin, odin!.. A tu, kem polny'
Moi revnivy'e mechty',
Umchali rokovy'e volny'
Pustoj i miloj suety'.

V nej serdce zhazhdet zhizni novoj,
Ne snosit gorestej ono
I doli trudnoj i surovoj
So mnoj ne delit uzh davno…

I tajna vsyo: pechal` i muku
Ona sokry'la gluboko?
Ili reshilas` na razluku
Blagorazumno i legko?

Kto skazhet mne?.. Molchu, skry'vayu
Moyu revnivuyu pechal`,
I stol`ko schast`ya ej zhelayu
Chtob by'lo proshlogo ne zhal`!

Chto zh, esli sbudetsya zhelan`e?..
O, net! zhivet v dushe moej
Neotrazimoe soznan`e,
Chto bez menya net schast`ya ej!

Vsyo, chem my' v zhizni dorozhili,
Chto by'lo luchshego u nas,—
My' na odin altar` slozhili —
I e`tot plamen` ne ugas!

U beregov chuzhogo morya,
Vblizi, vdali on ej blesnet
V minutu sirotstva i gorya,
I — veryu ya — ona pridet!

Pridet… i, kak vsegda, sty'dliva,
Neterpeliva i gorda,
Potupit ochi molchalivo.
Togda… Chto ya skazhu togda?..

Bezumecz! dlya chego trevozhish`
Ty' serdce bednoe svoe?
Prostit` ne mozhesh` ty' ee —
I ne lyubit` ee ne mozhesh`!..
