by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Monolog Arbenina
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Noch`, provedennaya bez sna,
Strax videt` istinu i million somnenij!
S utra po uliczam brodil, podobno teni,
I ne ustal, i v serdce my'sl` odna!
Odin lish` zloj namek,
Obmanchivy'j, by't` mozhet,
Razbil v kuski spokojstvie moe!
I vse voskreslo vnov`,
I vse menya trevozhit: by'loe,
Budushhnost`, obman i pravda – vse!
No ya reshilsya, budu tverd.
Uznayu prezhde, uveryus`…dokazatel`stva…
Da! Da! Mne dokazatel`stv nado…
I togda…togda…
Konecz lyubvi, konecz nadezhde!
