by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Stansy'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mgnovenno probezhav umom
Vsyu cep` togo, chto prezhde by'lo, —
YA ne zhaleyu o by'lom:
Ono menya ne usladilo.

Kak nastoyashhee, ono
Strastyami burny'mi oblito,
I v`yugoj zla zaneseno,
Kak snegom krest v stepi zaby'ty'j.

Otveta na lyubov` moyu
Naprasno zhazhdal ya dushoyu,
I esli o lyubvi poyu —
Ona by'la moej mechtoyu.

Kak meteor v vechernej mgle,
Ona ocham moim blesnula,
I by'vshi vsyo mne na zemle,
Kak vsyo zemnoe, obmanula.
