Cvetok
Language: Russian (Русский)
Minutnaja krasa polej, Cvetok uvjadshij, odinokoj, Lishjon ty prelesti svojej Rukoju oseni zhestokoj. Uvy! nam tot zhe dan udel, I tot zhe rok nas ugnetajet: S tebja listochek obletel - Ot nas vesel'e otletajet. Ot'emlet kazhdyj den' u nas Ili mechtu, il' naslazhden'e. I kazhdyj razrushajet chas Dragoje serdcu zabluzhden'e. Smotri... ocharovan'ja net; Zvezda nadezhdy ugasajet... Uvy! kto skazhet: zhizn' il' cvet Bystreje v mire ischezajet?
