by Emilia Gustavovna Orlova (1840 - c1915)

Otchego zatumanilsya vzor moj slezoj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Otchego zatumanilsya vzor moj slezoj
I szhimaetsya serdce v grudi?
Otchego, izny'vaya dushoyu bol`noj,
YA ne zhdu nichego vperedi?
By'lo vremya — s nadezhdoj i veroj v dobro
Bilos` radostno serdce moe.
Togda dumalos` mne, chto ischezlo to zlo,
Chto pechali i skorb` daleko!

I verilos` mne, chto sud`ba mne poshlet
Bespredel`noe schast`e v lyubvi.
I verilos` mne, chto lyubov` ne projdet
I chto svetly'e dni vperedi...
No, uvy', ne sby'lisya nadezhdy' moi,
Ne vidat` mne uzh radostny'x dnej,
Lish` obman vstrechu ya vmesto chistoj lyubvi,
Tol`ko nedrugov vmesto druzej!
