Na zare
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zarevom zakata dal' nebes ob"jata,
Rechka golubaja bleshchet, kak v ogne;
Nezhnymi cvetami ubrany bogato,
Tuchki utopajut v jasnoj vyshine.
Koje-gde, mercaja blednymi luchami,
Zvezdochki-shalun'i v nebesakh gorjat.
Les, oblityj svetom, ne drognet vetvjami,
I v vechernej nege mirno nivy spjat.
Tol'ko ty ne znajesh' negi i pokoja,
Grud' moja bol'naja, polnaja toskoj.
Chto zh tebja volnujet? Grustnoje l' byloje,
Il' nadezhd razbitykh bezotradnyj roj?
Zapolzli l' zmejeju zlobnye somnen'ja,
Otravili veru v schast'e i ljudej,
Strasti li mjatezhnoj grezy i volnen'ja
Vspykhnuli nezhdanno v glubine tvojej?
Il', v bor'be s sud'boju pogubivshi sily,
Ty uzh tjagotish'sja `etoju bor'boj
I, zabyv nadezhdy, mrachno zhdesh' mogily,
S malodushnoj grust'ju, s zhelchnoju toskoj?
Polno, uspokojsja, sbros' pechali bremja:
Ne projdet besplodno tjazhkaja bor'ba,
I zareju jasnoj zapylajet vremja,
Vremja svetloj mysli, pravdy i truda.
