Czvetok
Language: Russian (Русский)
Minutnaya krasa polej, Czvetok uvyadshij, odinokoj, Lishyon ty' prelesti svoej Rukoyu oseni zhestokoj. Uvy'! nam tot zhe dan udel, I tot zhe rok nas ugnetaet: S tebya listochek obletel - Ot nas vesel`e otletaet. Ot`emlet kazhdy'j den` u nas Ili mechtu, il` naslazhden`e. I kazhdy'j razrushaet chas Dragoe serdczu zabluzhden`e. Smotri... ocharovan`ya net; Zvezda nadezhdy' ugasaet... Uvy'! kto skazhet: zhizn` il` czvet By'stree v mire ischezaet?
