Нет, только тот, кто знал Свиданья, жажду, Поймёт, как я страдал И как я стражду. Гляжу я вдаль... нет сил, Тускнеет око... Ах, кто меня любил И знал - далеко! Ах, только тот, кто знал Свиданья, жажду, Поймёт, как я страдал И как я стражду. Вся грудь горит... Кто знал Свиданья жажду, Поймёт, как я страдал И как я стражду.
