by Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov, Grand Duke of Russia (1858 - 1915)

Rozy
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vo dni nadeždy molodoj,
Vo dni bezoblačnoj lazuri
Nam neznakomy byli buri, —
Bespečny byli my s toboj.
‎Dlja nas cvety blagouchali,
Luna sijala tol'ko nam,
Liš' mne s toboju po nočam
Pel solovej svoi pečali.
— V te bezzabotnye goda
Ne znali my žitejskoj prozy:
‎Kak choroši togda,
‎Kak sveži byli rozy!

To vremja minulo davno…
— Izvedav bedy i pečali,
My mnogo skorbi povstrečali;
‎No unyvat', moj drug, grešno:
Vzgljani, kak Božij mir prekrasen;
Nebesnyj svod glubok i čist,
Naš sad tak zelen i dušist,
I teplyj den', i tich, i jasen,
Pachnul v rastvorennuju dver';
V cvetach rosy sijajut slezy…
‎Kak choroši teper',
‎Kak sveži ėti rozy!

Za vse, čto vystradali my,
Pover', vozdastsja nam storicej.
Dni pronesutsja verenicej,
I posle sumračnoj zimy
Opjat' v rascvetšie doliny
Sletit sčastlivaja vesna;
Zasvetit krotkaja luna;
Pol'etsja rokot solov'inyj,
I otdochnem my ot truda,
Vernutsja radosti i grezy:
‎Kak choroši togda,
‎Kak sveži budut rozy!
