Duma

Language: Russian

 Prokhodjat dni... prokhodjat nochi;
 Proshlo i leto; Shelestit list pozheltevshij;
 Gasnut ochi; Zasnuli dumy; Serdce spit.
 Zasnulo vsjo... Ne znaju ja
 zhivjosh'-li ty, dusha moja.

 Besstrastno ja gljazhu na svet,
 I netu sljoz, i smekha net!
 I dolja gde moja? Sud'boju znat' ne dano mne nikakoj...
 No jesli ja blagoj ne stoju,
 Zachem ne vypalo khot' zloj?

 Ne daj, o Bozhe! kak vo sne bluzhdat'...
 Ostynut' serdcem mne.
 Gniloj kolodoj naputi
 lezhat' menja ne dopusti,

 No daj mne zhit', Tvorec, o daj
 mne serdcem, serdcem zhit'!
 Chtob ja khvalil tvoj mir chudesnyj,
 Chtob mog ja blizhnjago ljubit'!
 Strashna nevolja! Tjazhko v nej.
