by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Prezhnie zvuki, s by'ly'm obayan`em
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Prezhnie zvuki, s by'ly'm obayan`em
‎Schast`ya i yunoj lyubvi!
Vse, chto skazalosya v zhizni stradan`em,
Plamenem zhguchim paxnulo v krovi!

Stary'e pesni, znakomy'e zvuki,
‎Son bezotvyazno bol`noj!
Tochno iz sumraka bledny'e ruki
Prizrakov nezhny'x manyat za soboj.

Pust` oblivaetsya zhgucheyu krov`yu
‎Serdce, a ochi slezoj!—
Dobroyu nyanej pril`nuv k izgolov`yu,
Staraya pesnya, zvuchi nado mnoj!

Poj! Ne smushhajsya! Pust` vremya by'loe
‎Yarkoj zarej rasczvetet!
Mozhet by't`, serdce utixnet bol`noe
I, kak ditya v koly'beli, usnet.
