by Boris Nikolayevich Bugayev (1880 - 1934)

E`pitafiya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zolotomu blesku veril,
A umer ot solnechny'x strel.
Dumoj veka izmeril,
A zhizn` prozhit` ne sumel.

Ne smejtes` nad mertvy'm poe`tom:
Snesite emu czvetok.
Na kreste i zimoj i letom
Moj farforovy'j b`yotsya venok.

Czvety' na nyom pobity'.
Obrazok polinyal.
Tyazhyoly'e plity'.
Zhdu, chtob ix kto-nibud` snyal.

Lyubil tol`ko zvon kolokol`ny'j
I zakat.
Otchego mne tak bol`no, bol`no!
YA ne vinovat.

Pozhalejte, pridite;
Navstrechu venkom metnus`.
O, lyubite menya, polyubite -
Ya, by't` mozhet, ne umer, by't` mozhet, prosnus` - Vernus`!
