by Semyon Yakovlevich Nadson (1862 - 1887)

Не упрекай меня
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Не упрекай меня за горечь этих песен:
Не я виной тому, что мир ваш – мир цепей,
Мир горя и борьбы – и душен мне и тесен,
Что я иного жду от жизни и людей...
Нет лжи в стихе моем, – не призрачные муки
Пою я, как фигляр, ломаясь пред толпой,
Мне стоят многих слез мои больные звуки,
И стон мой – стон живой...
Не упрекай меня, но пожалей, как брата,
Я задыхаюсь здесь, я болен, я устал,
Еще мгновение – и в сердце без возврата
Угаснет . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
