by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

Kogda iz mraka zabluzhden`ya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kogda iz mraka zabluzhden`ya
Goryachim slovom ubezhden`ya
YA dushu padshuyu izvlek,
I, vsya polna glubokoj muki,
Ty' proklyala, lomaya ruki,
Tebya oputavshij porok;

Kogda zaby'vchivuyu sovest`
Vospominaniem kaznya,
Ty' mne peredavala povest`
Vsego, chto by'lo do menya;

I vdrug, zakry'v liczo rukami,
Sty'dom i uzhasom polna,
Ty' razreshilasya slezami,
Vozmushhena, potryasena, —

Ver`: ya vnimal ne bez uchast`ya,
YA zhadno kazhdy'j zvuk lovil...
YA ponyal vse, ditya neschast`ya!
YA vse prostil i vse zaby'l.

Zachem zhe tajnomu somnen`yu
Ty' ezhechasno predana?
Tolpy' bessmy'slennomu mnen`yu
Uzhel` i ty' pokorena?

Ne ver` tolpe — pustoj i lzhivoj,
Zabud` somneniya svoi,
V dushe boleznenno-puglivoj
Gnetushhej my'sli ne tai!

Grustya naprasno i besplodno,
Ne prigrevaj zmei v grudi
I v dom moj smelo i svobodno
Xozyajkoj polnoyu vojdi!
