Bednyj pevec

Language: Russian

 O krasnyj mir, gde ja votshche rascvel,
 prosti navek! S obmanutoj dushoju
 ja schast'ja zhdal - mechtam konec;
 pogiblo vse, umolkni, lira;
 skorej, skorej v obitel' mira,
 bednyj pevec, bednyj pevec!

 Chto zhizn', kogda v nej net ocharovan'ja?
 Blazhenstvo znat', k nemu letet' dushoj,
 no propast' zret' mezh nim i mezh soboj;
 zhelat' vsjak chas i trepetat' zhelan'ja...

 O pristan' gorestnykh serdec,
 mogila, vernyj put' k pokoju,
 kogda zhe budet vzjat toboju
 bednyj pevec, bednyj pevec?
