Bednyj pevec
Language: Russian (Русский)
O krasnyj mir, gde ja votshche rascvel, prosti navek! S obmanutoj dushoju ja schast'ja zhdal - mechtam konec; pogiblo vse, umolkni, lira; skorej, skorej v obitel' mira, bednyj pevec, bednyj pevec! Chto zhizn', kogda v nej net ocharovan'ja? Blazhenstvo znat', k nemu letet' dushoj, no propast' zret' mezh nim i mezh soboj; zhelat' vsjak chas i trepetat' zhelan'ja... O pristan' gorestnykh serdec, mogila, vernyj put' k pokoju, kogda zhe budet vzjat toboju bednyj pevec, bednyj pevec?
