by Evdokiya Petrovna Grafinya Rostopchina (1812 - 1858)

Былые слёзы
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Слёзы былые, слёзы чужие,
В душу вы льетесь жгучею лавой,
В сердце впились вы тайной отравой,
Больно от вас мне, слёзы былые!..

След ваш изглажен; даже забыта
Ваша причина - рана живая,
Горькая дума: рана закрыта, -
Думу сменила радость младая!..

Я же ревную!.. Страсти порукой
Слёзы не льются мне дорогие...
Вас я купила б пыткой и мукой,
Вас мне завидно, слёзы былые!..
