by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Волны катятся одна за другою
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Волны катятся одна за другою
    С плеском и шумом глухим;
Люди проходят ничтожной толпою
    Также один за другим.
Волнам их воля и холод дороже
    Знойных полудня лучей;
Люди хотят иметь души... и что же? —
    Души в них волн холодней!
