Lyubov`
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kogda bez strasti i bez dela Besczvetno dni moi tekli, Ona kak burya naletela I unesla menya s zemli. Ona menya lishila very' I vdoxnovenie zazhgla, Dala mne schastie bez mery' I slyozy', slyozy' bez chisla... Suximi, zhestkimi slovami Terzala serdce mne poroj, I xoxotala nad slezami, I izdevalas` nad toskoj; A inogda goryachim slovom I vzorom laskovy'x ochej Gnala pechal` - i v bleske novom V dushe moej svetilasya moej! YA vse zaby'l, dy'shu lish` eyu, Vsyu zhizn` ya otdal ej vo vlast`. Blagoslovit` eyo ne smeyu I ne mogu eyo proklyast`.
