Zhaloba
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Nad prozrachny'mi vodami Sidya, rval Uslad venok; I shumyashhimi volnami Unosil czvety' potok. «Tak begut leta mlady'e Nevozvratnoyu struej; Tak vse radosti zemny'e — Czvet uvyadshij polevoj. Ax! bezvremennoj toskoyu Umershhvlen moj mily'j czvet. Vse voskresnulo s vesnoyu; Obnovilsya bozhij svet; YA smotryu — i xolm vesely'j I polya omracheny'; Dlya dushi osiroteloj Net czvetushhiya vesny'. Chto v prirode, ozarennoj Krasotoyu majskix dnej? Est` odna vo vsej vselennoj — K nej dusha, i my'sl` ob nej; K nej stremlyu, zaby'vshis`, ruki — Mily'j prizrak proch` letit. Kto zh moi usly'shit muki, Zhazhdu serdcza utolit?»
