by Evdokiya Petrovna Grafinya Rostopchina (1812 - 1858)

Boyus`!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Boyus`, boyus`!... ya ne privy'kla k schast`yu!
Vsegda za radost`yu vstrechala gore ya;
Vsegda sred` yasnogo, blistatel`nogo dnya
Prigotovlyalas` ya k neschast`yu.

Boyus`, boyus`!... Lyubimy'x grez moix
YA nedoverchivo uvizhu ispolnen`e,
I budu trepetat`, chtob buri dunoven`e
Ne razmetalo migom ix!

Boyus`, boyus`!... Pokuda dumy' by'li
Nadezhdoj dal`neyu, ya ix mogla zaby't`:
Teper`, vozmozhnost`yu oni menya plenili,
Teper` mne ix ne perezhit`!...
