by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Когда‑то долгие печали
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Когда-то долгие печали
Связали нас.
Тогда мы вместе день встречали
В лазурный час.
И вечер гас. Хладели руки,
Среди огней
Мы шли под меркнущие звуки
Печальных дней.
Теперь – за ту младую муку
Я жизнь отдам…
О, если б вновь живую руку
Прижать к губам!
