Zhelanije

Language: Russian

Medlitel'no vlekutsja dni moji,
I kazhdyj mig v [uvjadshem]1 serdce mnozhit
Vsjo goresti neschastlivoj ljubvi            
[I tjazhkoje bezumije]2 trevozhit.

No ja molchu; ne slyshen ropot moj;
Ja sljozy l'ju; mne sljozy uteshen'je;
Moja dusha, [ob"jataja]3 toskoj,
V nikh gor'koje nakhodit naslazhden'je.

O zhizni [son]4, leti, ne zhal' tebja,
Ischezni v t'me, pustoje prividen'je;
Mne dorogo ljubvi mojej muchen'je;
Puskaj umru, no pust' umru, ljubja!
