U kamina
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ty sidiš' [molčalivo]1 i smotriš' s toskoj, Kak pečal'no kamin dogoraet, [Kak v nëm jarkoe plamja to]2 vspychnet poroj, To bessil'no opjat' ugasaet. Ty grustiš' vsë o čëm? Ne o prošlych li dnjach, Polnych negi, ljubvi i priveta? Tak čego že ty iščeš' v sgorevšich ugljach? O [sebe]3 ne najti v nich otveta. Podoždi eščë mig, i ne budet ognej, Čto tebja tak laskali i greli, I ostanetsja gruda liš' černych uglej, Čto sejčas dogoret' ne uspeli. O! pover', ved' ljubov' - ėto tot že kamin, Gde sgorajut vse lučšie grëzy. A pogasnet ljubov' - v serdce cholod odin, Vperedi že - stradan'ja i slëzy.
