by Evdokiya Petrovna Grafinya Rostopchina (1812 - 1858)

Talisman
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Est` talisman svyashhenny'j u menya.
Xranyu ego: v nyom serdcza vse imen`e,
V nyom cel` nadezhd, v nem uzel by'tiya,
Gryadushhego zalog, dnej proshly'x upoen`e.
On ne braslet s tainstvenny'm zamkom,
On ne kol`czo s zavetny'mi slovami,
On ne pis`mo s priznan`em i mol`bami,
Ne mily'm imenem ispolnenny'j al`bom,
I ne pero iz belogo sultana,
I ne portret pod kry'sheyu dvojnoj...
No ne nazvat` vam talismana,
Ne otgadat` vam tajny' rokovoj.
Mne talisman dorozhe upovan`ya,
YA za nego otdam i zhizn`, i krov`:
Moj talisman - vospominan`e
I neizmennaya lyubov`!
