by Pyotr Andreyevich Vyazemsky (1792 - 1878)

Toska
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne znaju ja, kogo, chego ishchu,
Ne razberu, chem mysli tajno polny,
No chto-to jest', o chem vezde grushchu,
No slovno slez, no dum, zhelanij volny
Tekut, kipjat v boleznennoj grudi,
I celi ja ne vizhu vperedi.

Kogda smotrju, kak mchatsja oblaka,
Gonimye nevidimoju siloj,
Ja trepeshchu, menja beret toska,
I myslju ja: proch' ot zemli postyloj!
Zachem nel'zja mne k oblakam pril'nut'
I s nimi vdal' letet' kuda-nibud'?

Ves' mir, vsja zhizn' - zagadka dlja menja,
Kotoroj net obeshchannogo slova.
Vsjo mnitsja mne: ja nakanune dnja,
Kotoryj zhizn' pokazhet bez pokrova.
No nastajet obetovannyj den',
I predo mnoj vsjo ta zhe, ta zhe ten'.
