Pora, moj drug, pora

Pora, moj drug, pora! pokoja serdce prosit --
Letjat za dnjami dni, i kazhdyj [den']1 unosit 
Chastichku bytija, a my s toboj vdvojom
Predpologajem zhit', i gljad' -- kak raz umrjom.
Na svete schast'ja net, no jest' pokoj i volja.
Davno zavidnaja mechtajetsja mne dolja --
Davno, ustalyj rab, zamyslil ja pobeg 
V obitel' dal'nuju trudov i chistykh neg.
