by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Stansy
Language: Russian (Русский) 
I
Vzgljani, kak moj spokojen vzor,
Khotja zvezda sud'by mojej
Pomerknula s davnishnikh por
I s neju dumy svetlykh dnej.
Sleza, kotoraja ne raz
Rvalas' blesnut' pered toboj,
Uzh ne pridet, kak `etot chas,
Na smekh podoslannyj sud'boj.

II
Smejalas' nado mnoju ty,
I ja prezren'em otvechal -
S tekh por serdechnoj pustoty
Ja uzh nichem ne zamenjal.
Nichto ne sblizit bol'she nas,
Nichto mne ne otdast pokoj...
Khot' v serdce shepchet chudnyj glas:
Ja ne mogu ljubit' drugoj.

III
Ja zhertvoval drugim strastjam,
No jesli pervye mechty
Sluzhit' ne mogut snova nam -
To chem zhe ikh zamenish' ty?..
Chem uspokoish' zhizn' moju,
Kogda uzh obratila v prakh
Moi nadezhdy v sem kraju,
A mozhet byt', i v nebesakh?...
