Net, jej ne zhit' na `etom svete
Language: Russian (Русский)
Net, jej ne zhit' na `etom svete: Ona uvjanet, kak cvetok, Chto raspustilsja na rassvete I do zari dozhit' ne mog. Ostav' jee! Pechal'noj zhizni Ona ne znajet, no grustit: Inoj, nevedomoj otchizne Jee dusha prinadlezhit. Ona lish' lastochkoj zaletnoj Izdaleka primchalas' k nam, — I vnov' vernetsja bezzabotno K svoim rodimym nebesam.
