O, ne grusti!

O, ne grusti po mne! Ja tam, gde net stradanij
Zabud' bylykh skorbej muchitel'nyje sny.
Pust' budut obo mne tvoji vospominan'ja 
Svetlej, chem pervyj den' vesny.
O, ne toskuj po mne! Mezh nami net razluki,
Ja tak zhe, kak i vstar', dushe tvojej blizka.
Menja poprezhnemu tvoji volnujut muki, 
Menja gnetet tvoja toska.
Zhivi! ty dolzhen zhit'!
I jesli siloj chuda 
Ty zdes' najdjosh' otradu i pokoj,
To znaj, chto `eto ja
Otkliknulas' ottuda
Na zov dushi tvojej bol'noj.
