by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Dozhdja otshumevshego kapli
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Dozhdja otshumevshego kapli
Tikhon'ko po list'jam tekli,
Tikhon'ko sheptalis' derev'ja,
Kukushka krichala vdali.

Luna na menja iz-za tuchi
Smotrela, kak budto v slezakh;
Sidel ja pod kljonom i dumal,
I dumal o prezhnikh godakh.

Ne znaju, byla li v te gody
Dusha neporochna moja?
No mnogomu b ja ne poveril,
Ne sdelal by mnogogo ja.

Teper' zhe mne stali ponjatny
Obman, i kovarstvo, i zlo,
I mnogije svetlye mysli
Odnu za drugoj uneslo.

Tak dumal o dnjakh ja minuvshikh,
O dnjakh, kogda byl ja dobrej;
A v list'jakh vysokogo kljona
Sidel nado mnoj solovej,

I pel on tak nezhno i strastno,
Kak budto khotel on skazat':
«Utesh'sja, ne setuj naprasno –
To vremja vernetsja opjat'!»
