by Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky (1783 - 1852)

Minuvšich dnej očarovan'e
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Minuvšich dnej očarovan'e,
Začem opjat' voskreslo ty?
Kto razbudil vospominan'e
I zamolčavšie mečty?
Šepnul duše privet byvalyj;
Duše blesnul znakomyj vzor;
I zrimo ej v minutu stalo
Nezrimoe s davnišnich por.
 
O milyj gost', svjatoe Prežde,
Začem v moju tesniš'sja grud'?
Mogu l' skazat': živi nadežde?
Skažu l' tomu, čto bylo: bud'?
Mogu l' uzret' vo bleske novom
Mečty uvjadšej krasotu?
Mogu l' opjat' odet' pokrovom
Znakomoj žizni nagotu?
 
Začem duša v tot kraj stremitsja,
Gde byli dni, kakich už net?
Pustynnyj kraj ne naselitsja,
Ne uzrit on minuvšich let;
Tam est' odin žilec bezglasnyj,
Svidetel' miloj stariny;
Tam vmeste s nim vse dni prekrasny
V edinyj grob položeny.
