Ja skoro umru! Menja polozhite
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja skoro umru! Menja polozhite V mogilu k vostoku licom. Nad domom Zjulejki tam kedry, platany Raskinuty pyshnym shatrom. V teni ikh Zjulejka, byt' mozhet, mechtajet O vernom, dalekom pevce. Byt' mozhet zaplachet pri vesti o skorbnom Jego bezrazsudnom konce. Akh, imja moje ona shepotom grustno Pri zvezdakh v tishi nazovet. Ot radosti vnov' ozhivu ja v mogile Ot schast'ja vnov' serdce zamret.
