by Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov, Grand Duke of Russia (1858 - 1915)

Czar` Saul
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Dusha izny'vaet moya i toskuet, -
O, poj zhe mne, otrok moj, pesnyu tvoyu:
Pust` zvuki eyo moyu skorb` uvrachuyut -
YA tak tvoi pesni svyaty'e lyublyu!

Gnetut menya zlobnogo duxa ob``yat`ya,
Opyat` ovladelo uny'nie mnoj,
I strashny'e vnov` izry'gayut proklyat`ya
Usta moi vmesto molitvy' svyatoj.

Tomlyusya ya, gnevom py'laya, i strazhdu;
Nedugom palimaya muchitsya plot`,
I zloba v dushe moej... Krovi ya zhazhdu,
I tshhetny' usiliya zlo poborot`.

Ne raz, zhalom nemoshhi toj uyazvlenny'j,
Tebya mog ubit` ya v bezumnom bredu.
O, poj zhe! By't` mozhet, toboj iscelenny'j,
Ry'daya, k tebe ya na grud` upadu!..
