by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

‎Naprasno,/ Kuda ni vzglyanu ya, vstrechayu...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
‎Naprasno,
Kuda ni vzglyanu ya, vstrechayu vezde neudachu,
I tyagostno serdczu, chto lgat` ya obyazan vsechasno;
Tebe uly'bayus`, a vnutrenno gor`ko ya plachu,
‎Naprasno.

‎Razluka!
Dusha cheloveka kakie vy'nosit muchen`ya!
A chasto na nix nameknut` lish` dostatochno zvuka.
Stoyu kak bezumny'j, eshhe ne postig vy'razhen`ya:
‎Razluka.

‎Svidan`e!
Razbej e`tot kubok: v nem kaplya nadezhdy' taitsya.
Ona-to prodlit i ona-to usilit stradan`e,
I v zhizni tumannoj vsyo budet obmanchivo snit`sya
‎Svidan`e.

‎Ne nami
Bessil`e izvedano slov k vy'razhen`yu zhelanij.
Bezmolvny'e muki skazalisya lyudyam vekami,
No ochered` nasha, i konchitsya ryad ispy'tanij
‎Ne nami.

‎No bol`no,
Chto zhrebii zhizni svyaty'm pobuzhden`yam vrazhdebny';
V grudi cheloveka do nix by' dobrat`sya dovol`no…
Net! vy'rvat` i brosit`; te yazvy', by't` mozhet, celebny', —
‎No bol`no.
