by Aleksey Vasil'yevich Kol'tsov (1808 - 1842)

Sirota
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne prel`shhajte, ne manite,
Py'lkoj yunosti mechty'!
Udalites`, uletite
Ot bezdomnoj siroty'!

Chto zh vy', zly'e, chto vy' v`yotes`
Nad ustaloj golovoj?
Chto vy' s vetrom ne nesyotes`
V kraj nevedomy'j, chuzhoj?

By'li dni — i ya lyubila
Sny' o radosti zemnoj;
No nadezhda izmenila;
Radost` — son v sud`be moej.

Nayavu zhe — v oblegchen`e
Tol`ko slyozy' prolivat`,
I ne verit` v obol`shhen`e,
I pokoya ne vkushat`.

Ne prel`shhajte zh, ne manite,
Svetloj radosti mechty'!
Unesites`, uletite
Ot bezdomnoj siroty'!

Confirmed with А. В. Кольцов, Полное собрание стихотворений, Л.: Советский писатель, 1958.
