by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

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?...
