Ja perezhil svoji zhelan'ja

Language: Russian

Ja perezhil svoji zhelan'ja,
Ja razljubil svoji mechty;
Ostalis' mne odni stradan'ja,
Plody serdechnoj pustoty.

Pod burjami sud'by zhestokoj
Uvjal cvetushchij moj venec,
Zhivu pechal'no, odinokoj
I zhdu: pridjot li moj konec?

Tak, pozdnim khladom [porazhjonnyj,]1
[Kak buri slyshen zimnij svist,]2
Odin na vetke obnazhjonnoj
Trepeshchet zapozdalyj list.
