Cvetok
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Čto dar cvetka mne označaet:
Koketstvo, šalost' il' ljubov'?
Koketstvo čuvstvo ubivaet,
Kol' ne kipit u serdca krov'.

Kol' vse v lice tvoem ošibka
I ogn' v očach, v lanitach žar,
I lžet sleza, i lžet ulybka,
Voz'mi, voz'mi nazad svoj dar!

Začem šališ' opasnoj strast'ju:
Ne ja ljubovnik budu tvoj,
Magnitnoj ne naveju vlast'ju
Duše nevinnoj, molodoj.

Želan'ja plamennye, slezy,
I v pervyj ja ljubvi urok
Ne rasceluju devy – rozy,
Da budet prokljat tvoj cvetok!

O net! Podarok devy miloj!
Kak Nubii paljaščij znoj,
JA grud'ju plamennoju siloj
Cvet issušu roskošnyj tvoj!

S toboj ja nerazlučen budu!
Zemlja naš obščij prach voz'met,
I tam tebja ja ne zabudu,
Gde vse zemnoe propadet!
