by Stepan Gavrilovich Petrov (1869 - 1941), as Скиталец (Skitalec)

Vy skazalis', bessonnye noči
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vy skazalis', bessonnye noči, 
Vy skazalis', duševnye muki. 
Zagorajutsja zloboju oči, - 
Opuskajutsja slabye ruki! 
Vy skazalisja, žgučie slëzy, 
Čto močili moë izgolov'e: 
Otleteli vozdušnye grezy, 
Otletelo byloe zdorov'e... 
Vy skazalis', bylye godiny: 
Grud' bol'naja gluboko upala, 
Po čelu probežali morščiny 
I so šček moich kraska sbežala. 
Slovno ženščina - žizn' izmenila, 
A sud'ba nado mnoj nasmejalas', 
I bezumno rastračena sila, 
I pora zolotaja umčalas'. 
Liš' v tebe, bespokojnoe serdce, 
Rascvetajut dušistye rozy, 
I natjanuty zvonkie struny, 
I volnujutsja čudnye grëzy ...
