by Arseny Arkad'yevich Golenishchev-Kutuzov (1848 - 1913)

На ветхой скамье при дороге
Language: Russian (Русский) 
На ветхой скамье при дороге
Сидел я… Вкруг вихри носились
И листья сухие в тревоге
У ног моих дико кружились.

Поникнув в раздумье глубоком,
Внимал я их бренному шуму —
О чем-то давнишнем, далеком
Я думал осеннюю думу.

И в памяти, полной смятенья,
Все грезы и сны молодые,
Всей жизни минувшей виденья
Кружились… как листья сухие.
