Language: Russian (Русский) after the Latin

Iskala ja tebja -- naprasno ja iskala, Zvala tebja k sebe -- naprasno prizyvala! Mne strazhi vstretilis' v polunochnoj tishi; "Ne znajete l' -- gde on, vozljublennyj dushi?" Ne znali -- ja proshla... no vskore i nezhdanno Ja vstretilas' s toboj, bledna i bezdykhanna... Nashla tebja -- nashla i krepko obnjala, I ne puskala proch', poka ne uvela V dom nashej materi, pod sen' togo chertoga, Gde mat' nas zachala i pobolela mnogo...
