Bedny'j pevecz
Language: Russian (Русский)
O krasny'j mir, gde ya votshhe rasczvel, prosti navek! S obmanutoj dushoyu ya schast`ya zhdal - mechtam konecz; pogiblo vse, umolkni, lira; skorej, skorej v obitel` mira, bedny'j pevecz, bedny'j pevecz! Chto zhizn`, kogda v nej net ocharovan`ya? Blazhenstvo znat`, k nemu letet` dushoj, no propast` zret` mezh nim i mezh soboj; zhelat` vsyak chas i trepetat` zhelan`ya... O pristan` gorestny'x serdecz, mogila, verny'j put` k pokoyu, kogda zhe budet vzyat toboyu bedny'j pevecz, bedny'j pevecz?
