by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Ty' zhertva zhiznenny'x trevog
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty' zhertva zhiznenny'x trevog,
I net v tebe soprotivlen`ya,
Ty', kak otorvanny'j listok,
Ply'vyosh` bez voli po techen`yu;

Ty' kak na zhnive sizy'j dy'm:
Otkuda veter ni poveet,
On tol`ko steletsya pred nim
I k oblakam bezhat` ne smeet;

Ty' slovno yabloni czvety',
Kogda ix sneg pokry'l tyazhyoly'j:
Stryaxnut` tosku ne mozhesh` ty',
I zhizn` tebya pognula dolu;

Ty' kak loshhinka v veshnij den`:
Kogda ves` mir blagouxaet,
Sosednix gor lozhitsya ten`
I ej odnoj czvesti meshaet;

I kak s vershin bezhit v neyo
Snegov rastayavshaya gruda,
Tak v serdce bednoe tvoyo
Stekaet gore otovsyudu!
