by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

V al'bom
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Net! — ja ne trebuju vniman'ja
Na grustnyj bred duši moej,
Ne otkryvat' svoi želan'ja
Privyknul ja s davnišnich dnej.
Pišu, pišu rukoj nebrežnoj,
Čtob zdes' črez mnogo skučnych let
Ot žizni kratkoj, no mjatežnoj
Kakoj-nibud' ostalsja sled.

Byt' možet, nekogda slučitsja,
Čto, vse stranicy probežav,
Na ėtu vzor vaš ustremitsja,
I vy promolvite: on prav;
Byt' možet, dolgo stich unylyj
Tot vzgljad uderžit nad soboj,
Kak bliz dorogi stolbovoj
Prišel'ca — pamjatnik mogily!...
