K nej
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ja pomnju vecher nezabvennyj,
Kogda s privychnoju toskoj,
Nedugom grusti omrachennyj,
Vpervye vstretilsja s toboj!
Dusha ustalaja, bol'naja,
Uzrela raj v tebe zemnoj.
I zhizn' schastlivaja, bylaja,
Mel'knula sladkoju mechtoj.
No ja, opomnjas', izumilsja,
Ja chuvstva novogo strashilsja.
Ja na zakate dnej moikh
Ne verju v schast'e blag zemnykh;
Kak bednyj nishchij u poroga,
Ja ne tebja proshu, no Boga!
Proshu ja Boga!
Tvorec nadezhd i upovanij,
Bezumca dushu prosveti,
I vsju bessmyslennost' zhelanij
Navek iz serdca izzhivi!
