by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Bolezn` v grudi moej i net mne iscelen`ya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Bolezn` v grudi moej i net mne iscelen`ya,
     YA uvyadayu v polnom czvete!
Puskaj! — ya ne by'l rab zemnogo naslazhden`ya,
     Ne dlya lyudej ya zhil na svete.
Odno lish` sushhestvo dushoj moej vladelo,
     No v razny'j put` poshli my' oba,
I my' rasstalisya, i nebo zaxotelo,
     Chtob ne soshlis` opyat` u groba.
Glyazhu v bezmolvii na zapad: dogoraet
    Krasneya gordoe svetilo;
Mne xochetsya za nim: ono, by't` mozhet, znaet,
     Kak voskreshat` vsyo to, chto milo.
By't` mozhet, osleplen ognem ego siyan`ya
     YA xot` na vremya pozabudu
Volshebny'e glaza i poceluj proshhan`ya,
     Za mnoj begushhie povsyudu.
