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

Vy' skazalis`, bessonny'e nochi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vy' skazalis`, bessonny'e nochi, 
Vy' skazalis`, dushevny'e muki. 
Zagorayutsya zloboyu ochi, - 
Opuskayutsya slaby'e ruki! 
Vy' skazalisya, zhguchie slyozy', 
Chto mochili moyo izgolov`e: 
Otleteli vozdushny'e grezy', 
Otletelo by'loe zdorov`e... 
Vy' skazalis`, by'ly'e godiny': 
Grud` bol`naya gluboko upala, 
Po chelu probezhali morshhiny' 
I so shhek moix kraska sbezhala. 
Slovno zhenshhina - zhizn` izmenila, 
A sud`ba nado mnoj nasmeyalas`, 
I bezumno rastrachena sila, 
I pora zolotaya umchalas`. 
Lish` v tebe, bespokojnoe serdce, 
Rasczvetayut dushisty'e rozy', 
I natyanuty' zvonkie struny', 
I volnuyutsya chudny'e gryozy' ...
