by Ivan Sergeyevich Aksakov (1823 - 1886)

Vzamen razluki i pechali
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vzamen razluki i pechali,
Chto vperedi tebe dano,
Chto v bezotradno-grustnoj dali
Tebe sud`boj obrecheno?

Zachem dusha tvoya iskala
Udela zhizni ne prostoj?
Zachem ty' dushu vospitala,
Zachem stremilas` v mir inoj?

I znaj: dolzhna uedinenno
Tvoya pobleknut` krasota,
Promchat`sya yunost` postepenno,
Razbit`sya svetlaya mechta!

No zazhivet s godami rana,
S svoim ty' svy'knesh`sya zhit`em!
I vse my', pozdno ili rano,
Sebya samix perezhivem!..
