Dubrava shumit; Sbirayutsya tuchi; Na bereg zy'buchij Sklonivshis`, sidit V slezax, prigoryunyas`, devicza-krasa, I polnoch` i burya mrachat nebesa; I cherny'e volny', vzdy'mayas`, bushuyut; I tyazhkie vzdoxi grud` belu volnuyut. ,,Dusha otczvela; Priroda uny'la; Lyubov` izmenila, Lyubov` unesla Nadezhdu, nadezhdu - moj sladkij udel. Kuda ty', moj angel, kuda uletel? Ax, polno! YA schast`em mirskim nasladilas`: Zhila i lyubila... i druga lishilas`. Tekite struej Vy', slyozy' goryuchi; Dubravy' dremuchi, Toskujte so mnoj. [Uzh bole ne vstretit` mne radostny'x dnej]1; Prostilas`, prostilas` ya s zhizn`yu moej: Moj drug ne voskresnet; chto by'lo, - ne budet... [I by'shego serdce vovek ne zabudet]2. Ax! skoro l` projdut Uny'ly'e gody'? S vesnoyu -- prirody' Krasy' rasczvetut... No sladkoe schast`e ne dvazhdy' czvetyot. Puskaj zhe drugoe v slezax ozhivyot; Lyubov`, ty' pogibla; ty' radost`, umchalas`; Odna o minuvshem toska mne ostalas`.
