Aus Erwin und Elmire

Inneres Wühlen
Ewig zu fühlen;
Immer verlangen, 
Nimmer erlangen,
Fliehen und streben,
Sterben und leben,
Hölische Qual,
Endig einmal!

by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) , from Erwin und Elmire

Iz `Ervina i `El'miry I

Chuvstvovat' vechno
V serdce smjaten'je,
Vechnuju zhazhdu
Bez umolen'ja,
Radosti zhizni,
Vejan'je smerti,
Skoro l' konec
Vechnoj bor'be!
