by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818 - 1883)

Zametila li ty, o drug moj molchalivyj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zametila li ty, o drug moj molchalivyj,
O moj zabytyj drug, o drug mojej vesny,
Chto v kazhdom dne jest' mig glubokoj, bojazlivoj,
Pochti vnezapnoj tishiny?

I v `etoj tishine jest' chto-to nezemnoje,
Nevyrazimoje… dusha molchit i zhdet:
Kak budto v `etot mig vse strastnoje, zhivoje
O smerti vspomnit i zamret.

O, jesli v `etot mig nevol'noju toskoju
Stesnitsja grud' tvoja i vystupit sleza…
Podumaj, chto stoju ja vnov' pered toboju,
Chto ja gljazhu tebe v glaza.

Ljubov' pogibshuju ty vspomni bez pechali;
Proshedshemu, moj drug, predat'sja ne stydis'…
My zhizni khot' na mig drug drugu ruki dali,
My khot' na mig s toboj soshlis'.
