by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)

Prosti mne ton pis`ma nebrezhny'j
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Prosti mne ton pis`ma nebrezhny'j;
Ego ya nachal v shume dnya.
Teper` vsyo spit krugom; charuyushhij i nezhny'j,
Tvoj obraz krotko smotrit na menya!

O, bros` tvoj dushny'j svet, zabud` by'loe gore,
Pridi, pridi ko mne, primi by'luyu vlast`!
Zdes` more zhdet tebya, shirokoe, kak strast`,
I strast`, shirokaya, kak more, kak more.

Ty' zdes` najdesh` opyat` vsyo schast`e prezhnix let,
I laski, i lyubov`, i dazhe to stradan`e,
Kotoroe poroj gnetet sushhestvovan`e,
No bez kotorogo vsya zhizn` - bessvyazny'j bred.
