by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Prosti
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Pora… Prosti! Nikto ne vedal
Glubokix tajn moix strastej,
I nikomu ya prava ne dal
Zaplakat` na grudi moej.

Lyubvi prekrasny'm upovan`yam
Rassudkom polozha predel,
Stradaya sam, tvoim stradan`yam
YA otozvat`sya ne xotel.

Iskal ya schast`ya, no poverit`
Ne smel ya schast`yu svoemu;
Mne by'lo legche licemerit`,
Chem verit` serdczu tvoemu.
