by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Sonet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ya pamyat`yu zhivu s uvyadshimi mechtami,
Viden`ya prezhnix let tolpyatsya predo mnoj,
I obraz tvoj mezh nix, kak mesyacz v chas nochnoj
Mezhdu brodyashhimi blistaet oblakami.

Mne tyagostno tvoe vlady'chestvo poroj;
Tvoej uly'bkoyu, volshebny'mi glazami
Poraboshhen moj dux i skovan, kak cepyami,
Chto zh pol`zy' dlya menya, — ya ne lyubim toboj,

YA znayu, ty' lyubov` moyu ne preziraesh`,
No xolodno ee moleniyam vnimaesh`;
Tak mramorny'j kumir na beregu morskom

Stoit, — u nog ego volna kipit, klokochet,
A on, beschuvstvenny'm ispolnen bozhestvom,
Ne vnemlet, xot` ee ottalkivat` ne xochet.
