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

Klassicheskie rozy'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
 Kak xoroshi, kak svezhi by'li rozy'
 V moyom sadu! Kak vzor prel`shali moj!
 Kak ya molil vesennie morozy'
 Ne trogat` ix xolodnoyu rukoj!
		--Myatlev, 1843 g. 

V te vremena, kogda rojlis` gryozy'
V serdczax lyudej, prozrachny' i yasny',
Kak xoroshi, kak svezhi by'li rozy'
Moej lyubvi, i slavy', i vesny'! 

Proshli leta, i vsyudu l`yutsya slyozy'... 
Net ni strany', ni tex, kto zhil v strane... 
Kak xoroshi, kak svezhi ny'ne rozy'
Vospominanij o minuvshem dne! 

No dni idut -- uzhe stixayut grozy'. 
Vernut`sya v dom Rossiya ishet trop... 
Kak xoroshi, kak svezhi budut rozy',
Moej stranoj mne broshenny'e v grob!
