Gljadja na luč purpurnogo zakata
Language: Russian (Русский)
Gljadja na luč purpurnogo zakata, Stojali my na beregu Nevy. Vy ruku žali mne; promčalsja bez vozvrata Tot sladkij mig; ego zabyli vy... Do groba vy kljalis' ljubit' poėta; Bojas' ljudej, bojas' [pustoj]1 molvy, Vy ne [nepolnili]2 svjaščennogo obeta; Svoju ljubov' - i tu zabyli vy... No smert' blizka; blizka moja mogila. Kogda umru, kak tichij šum travy, Moj golos prozvučit i skažet vam unylo: On vami žil... ego zabyli vy!...
