by Evdokiya Petrovna Grafinya Rostopchina (1812 - 1858)

Talisman
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Jest' talisman svjashchennyj u menja.
Khranju jego: v njom serdca vse imen'e,
V njom cel' nadezhd, v nem uzel bytija,
Grjadushchego zalog, dnej proshlykh upojen'e.
On ne braslet s tainstvennym zamkom,
On ne kol'co s zavetnymi slovami,
On ne pis'mo s priznan'em i mol'bami,
Ne milym imenem ispolnennyj al'bom,
I ne pero iz belogo sultana,
I ne portret pod krysheju dvojnoj...
No ne nazvat' vam talismana,
Ne otgadat' vam tajny rokovoj.
Mne talisman dorozhe upovan'ja,
Ja za nego otdam i zhizn', i krov':
Moj talisman - vospominan'e
I neizmennaja ljubov'!
