by Nikolai Petrovich Devitte (1811 - 1844)

Gde ty, duši moej otrada
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Gde ty, duši moej otrada?
S ulybkoj strastnoj na ustach?
Gde ty, ljubvi moej nagrada,
Živuščaja v moich mečtach?
Gde ty, dlja koej net nazvan'ja,
No pervyj dlja duši predmet,
V kotoroj zrju ja cel' želan'ja
I vsej nadeždy miloj svet.

Pridi, o angel moj chranitel',
V tainstvennyj polnoči čas
Stradal'ca posetit' obitel',
Gde luč veselija ugas.
Tvoeju laskoj, razgovorom
Ne smeet on sebja pitat',
Uteš' ego chotja by vzorom -
Ne budet bol'še on stradat'.

No, ach! Votšče! Uže ob"emlet
Menja spokojnyj sladkij son:
Moj drug stradaniju ne vnemlet,
Uvy, ne slyšit serdca ston,
Slijannyj s gorest'ju, s smuščen'em
Skaži mne, angel krasoty,
Kogda otradnym poseščen'em
Vljublënnogo utešiš' ty?
