Ni slova, o drug moj

 Ni slova, o drug moj, ni vzdokha,
 my budem s toboj molchalivy:
 Ved' molcha nad kamnem mogil'nym
 sklonjajutsja grustnyje i vy.
 I tol'ko, sklonivshis', chitajut,
 kak ja, v tvojom [serdce]1 ustalom,
 Chto byli dni jasnogo schast'ja...
 Chto `etogo schast'ja ne stalo...
 Chto `etogo schast'ja ne stalo...
 Ni slova, o drug moj, ni vzdokha,
 my budem s toboj molchalivy:
 Ved' molcha nad kamnem mogil'nym
 sklonjajutsja grustnyje i vy.
