by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Стансы
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Мгновенно пробежав умом
Всю цепь того, что прежде было, —
Я не жалею о былом:
Оно меня не усладило.

Как настоящее, оно
Страстями бурными облито,
И вьюгой зла занесено,
Как снегом крест в степи забытый.

Ответа на любовь мою
Напрасно жаждал я душою,
И если о любви пою —
Она была моей мечтою.

Как метеор в вечерней мгле,
Она очам моим блеснула,
И бывши всё мне на земле,
Как всё земное, обманула.
