by Pyotr Ivanovich Shalikov (1767/8 - 1852)

Вижу, бабочка летает
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Вижу, бабочка летает
  средь фиалок, роз, лилей ;  
Всеми взор свой утешает ; 
  все равно прелестны ей.
Истощив круженьем силу,
  что же бабочка нашла ?
На терновнике могилу,
  и без счастья жизнь прошла.

Сожалею и страшуся
  равной участи в любви.
Пусть к одной, когла влюблюся,
  в век пылает огнь в крови !
Пусть одна все будет краше,
  всех милее для меня :
В постоянстве счастье наше,
  в счастье скучного нет дня.
