by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Sovet
Language: Russian (Русский)
[Jesli, drug, tebe sgrustnjotsja]1, Ty ne dujsja, ne serdis': Vsjo s godami pronesetsja — Ulybnis' i razgrustis'. Dev izmeny molodye I nevernyj put' chestej I mgnoven'ja skuki zlye Stojat li toski tvojej? Ne ishchi strastej tjazhelykh; I pokuda bog dajet, Nektar pej chasov veselykh; A pechal' sama pridet. I, ljudej ne preziraja, Ne beris' uchit' drugikh; Luchshim byt' ne vobrazhaja, Skoro ty poljubish' ikh. Serdce glupoje tvoren'e, No i s serdcem mozhno zhit', I bezumnoje volnen'e Mozhno takzhe ukrotit'... Beden! kto, sud'by v nenast'e Vse nadezhdy ispytav, Nakonec nakhodit schast'e, Chuvstvo schast'ja poterjav.
