by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Ne privlekaj menya krasoj!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne privlekaj menya krasoj!
Moj dux pogas i sostarelsya.
Ax! mnogo let kak vzglyad drugoj
V ume moem napechatlelsya!..
YA dlya nego zaby'l ves` mir,
Dlya sej minuty' nezabvennoj;
No ya teper`, kak nishhij, sir,
Brozhu odin, kak otchuzhdenny'j!
Tak putnik v temnote nochnoj,
Kogda uzrit ogon` bludyashhij,
Bezhit za nim… sxvatil rukoj…
I — propast` pod nogoj skol`zyashhej!..
