Ljubov'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kogda bez strasti i bez dela Bescvetno dni moi tekli, Ona kak burja naletela I unesla menja s zemli. Ona menja lishila very I vdokhnovenije zazhgla, Dala mne schastije bez mery I sljozy, sljozy bez chisla... Sukhimi, zhestkimi slovami Terzala serdce mne poroj, I khokhotala nad slezami, I izdevalas' nad toskoj; A inogda gorjachim slovom I vzorom laskovykh ochej Gnala pechal' - i v bleske novom V dushe mojej svetilasja mojej! Ja vse zabyl, dyshu lish' jeju, Vsju zhizn' ja otdal jej vo vlast'. Blagoslovit' jejo ne smeju I ne mogu jejo prokljast'.
