Ja skoro umru! Menja položite
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja skoro umru! Menja položite V mogilu k vostoku licom. Nad domom Zjulejki tam kedry, platany Raskinuty pyšnym šatrom. V teni ich Zjulejka, byt' možet, mečtaet O vernom, dalekom pevce. Byt' možet zaplačet pri vesti o skorbnom Ego bezrazsudnom konce. Ach, imja moe ona šepotom grustno Pri zvezdach v tiši nazovet. Ot radosti vnov' oživu ja v mogile Ot sčast'ja vnov' serdce zamret.
