Toska po milom

Dubrava shumit; 
Sbirajutsja tuchi;
Na bereg zybuchij 
Sklonivshis', sidit
V slezakh, prigorjunjas', devica-krasa,
I polnoch' i burja mrachat nebesa;
I chernyje volny, vzdymajas', bushujut;
I tjazhkije vzdokhi grud' belu volnujut.

,,Dusha otcvela;
Priroda unyla;
Ljubov' izmenila, 
Ljubov' unesla
Nadezhdu, nadezhdu - moj sladkij udel.
Kuda ty, moj angel, kuda uletel?
Akh, polno! Ja schast'jem mirskim nasladilas':
Zhila i ljubila... i druga lishilas'.

Tekite strujej 
Vy, sljozy gorjuchi;
Dubravy dremuchi, 
Toskujte so mnoj.
[Uzh bole ne vstretit' mne radostnykh dnej]1;
Prostilas', prostilas' ja s zhizn'ju mojej:
Moj drug ne voskresnet; chto bylo, - ne budet...
[I byshego serdce vovek ne zabudet]2.

Akh! skoro l' projdut
Unylyje gody?
S vesnoju -- prirody 
Krasy rascvetut...
No sladkoje schast'je ne dvazhdy cvetjot.
Puskaj zhe drugoje v slezakh ozhivjot;
Ljubov', ty pogibla; ty radost', umchalas';
Odna o minuvshem toska mne ostalas'.
