`Elegija

Language: Russian

 Vy ne sbylis' nadezhdy miloj
 Blagoslovennyje mechty!
 Moja krasa, mojo svetilo,
 Moja zhelannaja, gde ty?
 Davno l' ochej tvojikh lazurnykh
 Ja ljubovalsja tishinoj,
 I volny dum krutykh i burnykh
 V lushe smirjalis' molovoj?

 Daleko ty, no terpelivo
 Mojej pokorstvuju sud'be;
 Vo mne bozhestvennoje zhivo
 Vospominan'je o tebe.
[ Tak probuzhden'je sokhranjajet
 Chjorty plenitel'nogo sna,
 Tak zemlju bleskom osypajet
 Nebes krasavica - luna.]1
