Stansy'
Language: Russian (Русский)
I Vzglyani, kak moj spokoen vzor, Xotya zvezda sud`by' moej Pomerknula s davnishnix por I s neyu dumy' svetly'x dnej. Sleza, kotoraya ne raz Rvalas` blesnut` pered toboj, Uzh ne pridet, kak e`tot chas, Na smex podoslanny'j sud`boj. II Smeyalas` nado mnoyu ty', I ya prezren`em otvechal - S tex por serdechnoj pustoty' YA uzh nichem ne zamenyal. Nichto ne sblizit bol`she nas, Nichto mne ne otdast pokoj... Xot` v serdce shepchet chudny'j glas: YA ne mogu lyubit` drugoj. III YA zhertvoval drugim strastyam, No esli pervy'e mechty' Sluzhit` ne mogut snova nam - To chem zhe ix zamenish` ty'?.. Chem uspokoish` zhizn` moyu, Kogda uzh obratila v prax Moi nadezhdy' v sem krayu, A mozhet by't`, i v nebesax?...
