by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)

,,Она была твоя!`` шептал мне вечер мая
Language: Russian (Русский) 
,,Она была твоя!`` шептал мне вечер мая,
    Дразнила долго песня соловья,
Теперь он замолчал, и эта ночь немая
    Мне шепчет вновь: ,,она была твоя!``
Как листья тополей в сияньи серебристом,
Мерцает прошлое, погибшее давно;
О нём мне говорят и звезды в небе чистом,
И запах резеды, ворвавшейся в окно.
И некуда бежать, и мучит ночь немая,
Рисуя [милыя]1 знакомыя черты ...
О, не забвенная, о, вечно дорогая,
Откликнись отзовись, скажи мне: где же ты?
Вот видишь: без тебя мне жить невыносимо,
    Я  изнемог, я выбился из сил;
Обиды,  горе, зло - я все забыл, простил,
Одна любовь  во мне горит неугасимо!
Дай подышать  с тобой мне воздухом одним,
Откликнись, отзовись, явись хоть на мгновенье,
А  там пускай опять хоть годы заточенья
    С  могильным холодом своим!
