by Grigory Pavlovich Rzhevsky (1763 - 1830)

Nedoumenie
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kakoe chuvstvo, ya ne znayu,
Mne serdce napolnyaet vnov`!
Skazhi mne, ya uznat` zhelayu,
Chto druzhba e`to il` lyubov`?
Ne strashno prezhde mne by'valo,
I my'sl` i serdce vsem otkry't`,
No serdce chuvstvovat` chto stalo
Ot vsex starayus` ny'ne skry't`.

To vdrug tebya ya ubegayu,
To pospeshayu videt` vnov`!
Skazhi mne, pravo, ya ne znayu,
Chto druzhba e`to il` lyubov`?
S toboyu veselo mne by'lo,
No mog i bez tebya proby't`;
Grustilo serdce, no ne ny'lo,
Svobodno my'slit` mog i zhit`.

No esli ty' k schastlivoj dole,
So mnoyu chuvstva odnogo,
Ne stanu sprashivat` ya bole
O chuvstvax serdcza svoego.
Ego muchen`ya pozabudu,
Py'lat` s vostorgom stanet krov`,
I vek xranit` ya v serdce budu
K tebe i druzhbu, i lyubov`.
