by Evdokiya Petrovna Grafinya Rostopchina (1812 - 1858)

Padučaja zvezda
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ona katilas'... ja smotrela
S učast'em tajnym ej vo sled -
I došeptat' ej ne uspela
Svoë želan'e, svoj obet...

Ona skatilas' i propala!..
Začem padučeju zvezdoj
Bog ne sudil byt'? - ja mečtala,-
Mne ne dal voli s bystrotoj?

Podobno ej, i ja ušla by,
Pokinuv nedojdënnyj put'!
Podobno ej, i ja mogla by
Letet', umčat'sja, uskol'znut'!
