by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Умолкну скоро я!... Но если в день...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Умолкну скоро я!... Но если в день печали
Задумчивой игрой мне струны отвечали;
Но если юноши, внимая молча мне,
Дивились долгому любви моей мученью;
Но если ты сама, предавшись умиленью,
Печальные стихи твердила в тишине
И сердца моего язык любила страстный...
Но если я любим... позволь, о милый друг,
Позволь одушевить прощальный лиры звук
Заветным именем любовницы прекрасной!...
Когда меня навек обымет смертный сон,
Над урною моей промолви с умиленьем:
Он мною был любим, он мне был одолжен
И песен и любви последним вдохновеньем.
