by Nikolai Petrovich Devitte (1811 - 1844)

Gde ty', dushi moej otrada
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Gde ty', dushi moej otrada?
S uly'bkoj strastnoj na ustax?
Gde ty', lyubvi moej nagrada,
Zhivushhaya v moix mechtax?
Gde ty', dlya koej net nazvan`ya,
No pervy'j dlya dushi predmet,
V kotoroj zryu ya cel` zhelan`ya
I vsej nadezhdy' miloj svet.

Pridi, o angel moj xranitel`,
V tainstvenny'j polnochi chas
Stradal`cza posetit` obitel`,
Gde luch veseliya ugas.
Tvoeyu laskoj, razgovorom
Ne smeet on sebya pitat`,
Utesh` ego xotya by' vzorom -
Ne budet bol`she on stradat`.

No, ax! Votshhe! Uzhe ob``emlet
Menya spokojny'j sladkij son:
Moj drug stradaniyu ne vnemlet,
Uvy', ne sly'shit serdcza ston,
Sliyanny'j s gorest`yu, s smushhen`em
Skazhi mne, angel krasoty',
Kogda otradny'm poseshhen`em
Vlyublyonnogo uteshish` ty'?
