by Igor Vasil'yevich Lotaryov (1887 - 1941), as Igor Severyanin

Klassičeskie rozy
Language: Russian (Русский) 
 Kak choroši, kak sveži byli rozy
 V moëm sadu! Kak vzor prel'šali moj!
 Kak ja molil vesennie morozy
 Ne trogat' ich cholodnoju rukoj!
		--Mjatlev, 1843 g. 

V te vremena, kogda rojlis' grëzy
V serdcach ljudej, prozračny i jasny,
Kak choroši, kak sveži byli rozy
Moej ljubvi, i slavy, i vesny! 

Prošli leta, i vsjudu l'jutsja slëzy... 
Net ni strany, ni tech, kto žil v strane... 
Kak choroši, kak sveži nyne rozy
Vospominanij o minuvšem dne! 

No dni idut -- uže stichajut grozy. 
Vernut'sja v dom Rossija išet trop... 
Kak choroši, kak sveži budut rozy,
Moej stranoj mne brošennye v grob!
