by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Daj ruku mne, sklonis' k grudi poėta
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Daj ruku mne, sklonis' k grudi poėta,
Svoju sud'bu soedini s moej:
Kak ty, moj drug, ja ne roždën dlja sveta
I ne umeju žit' sredi ljudej.
JA ne imel ni vremja, ni ochoty
Delit' ich šum, ich melkie zaboty,
Ljubov' moë vsë serdce zanjala —
I čto ž, vzgljani na blednyj cvet čela.

Na nëm ty vidiš' sled strastej usnuvšich,
Tak rano obujavšich žizn' moju.
Ne l'stit mne vspominan'e dnej minuvšich,
JA odinok nad propast'ju stoju,
Gde vsë moë podavleno sud'boju.
Tak kust rastët nad bezdnoju morskoju,
I list, grozoj oborvannyj, plyvët
Po proizvolu stranstvujuščich vod.
