by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

Akh! chto izgnan'e, zatochen'e!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Akh! chto izgnan'e, zatochen'e!
Zakhochet — vyruchit sud'ba!
Chto vrag! — vozmozhno primiren'e,
Vozmozhna ravnaja bor'ba;

Kak gnev jego ni bespredelen,
On promakhnetsja v dobryj chas…
No toj ruki udar smertelen,
Kotoraja laskala nas!..

Odin, odin!.. A tu, kem polny
Moi revnivye mechty,
Umchali rokovye volny
Pustoj i miloj sujety.

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

I tajna vsjo: pechal' i muku
Ona sokryla gluboko?
Ili reshilas' na razluku
Blagorazumno i legko?

Kto skazhet mne?.. Molchu, skryvaju
Moju revnivuju pechal',
I stol'ko schast'ja jej zhelaju
Chtob bylo proshlogo ne zhal'!

Chto zh, jesli sbudetsja zhelan'e?..
O, net! zhivet v dushe mojej
Neotrazimoje soznan'e,
Chto bez menja net schast'ja jej!

Vsjo, chem my v zhizni dorozhili,
Chto bylo luchshego u nas,—
My na odin altar' slozhili —
I `etot plamen' ne ugas!

U beregov chuzhogo morja,
Vblizi, vdali on jej blesnet
V minutu sirotstva i gorja,
I — verju ja — ona pridet!

Pridet… i, kak vsegda, stydliva,
Neterpeliva i gorda,
Potupit ochi molchalivo.
Togda… Chto ja skazhu togda?..

Bezumec! dlja chego trevozhish'
Ty serdce bednoje svoje?
Prostit' ne mozhesh' ty jee —
I ne ljubit' jee ne mozhesh'!..
