Cvetok
Language: Russian (Русский)
Minutnaja krasa polej, Cvetok uvjadšij, odinokoj, Lišën ty prelesti svoej Rukoju oseni žestokoj. Uvy! nam tot že dan udel, I tot že rok nas ugnetaet: S tebja listoček obletel - Ot nas vesel'e otletaet. Ot'emlet každyj den' u nas Ili mečtu, il' naslažden'e. I každyj razrušaet čas Dragoe serdcu zablužden'e. Smotri... očarovan'ja net; Zvezda nadeždy ugasaet... Uvy! kto skažet: žizn' il' cvet Bystree v mire isčezaet?
