by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Забудь опять
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Забудь опять
Свои надежды,
Об них вздыхать —
Судьба невежды.
Она дитя:
Не верь на слово,
Она шутя
Полюбит снова,
Всё, что блестит,
Её пленяет;
Всё, что грустит,
Её пугает.
Так облачко
По небу мчится
Светло, легко;
Оно глядится
В волнах морских
Поочередно,
Но чужд для них
Прошлец свободный,
Он образ свой
Во всех встречает,
Хоть их порой
Не замечает.
