by Apollon Aleksandrovich Grigoriev (1822 - 1864)

Net, za tebya molit`sya ya ne mog
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Net, za tebya molit`sya ya ne mog,
Derzha venecz nad golovoj tvoeyu. 
Stradal li ya, il` prosto iznemog,
Tebe teper` skazat` ya ne umeyu,-
No za tebya molit`sya ya ne mog. 

I pomnyu ya - chela ubor venchal`ny'j
Izmyat` venczom mne by'lo zhal`: k tebe
Tak shli czvety'... Ustaly'j i pechal`ny'j,
YA pozaby'l v to vremya o mol`be
I vse bereg chela ubor venchal`ny'j. 

Za chto czvetov togda mne by'lo zhal` -
Bog vedaet: za to l`, chto bez rasczveta
Im suzhdeno pogibnut`, za tebya l` -
Ne znayu ya... v proshedshem net otveta... 
A mne czvetov gluboko by'lo zhal`...
