You're right, my friend - in vain I despised
Gifts of nature supportive.
I knew Leisure, careless Muses inheritance,
And pleasures of laziness sleeping,
beauty Lais, cherished feasts,
And clicks joy mad,
And peace Moose minute gifts,
And noisy Fame Lepetani.
I knew the friendship - and the lives of young
She gave windy years,
And I believe it for a circular bowl
In the hours of fun and freedom,
I knew love, not mrachnoyu [longingly],
Not bad misconceptions,
I knew love by a charming dream,
charm, intoxication.
Youthful conversations Leaving the glitz and noise,
I knew the work and inspiration,
And sweet to me was the hot doom
secluded excitement.
But everything went! - cool blood to the heart,
In their nakedness, I now see
And the light and life and love and friendship,
And the grim experience of hate.
His seal has lost high-spirited nature,
Soul time from time nemeet;
It is no more feelings. Since sheet of light oak
The keys Caucasian kameneet.
exposing [plenitelynыy] idol,
I see an ugly ghost.
But what now disturbs hladny world
Soul senseless and idle?
Shall he appeared before me
So majestic and beautiful,
Shall in this shameful depths
I enjoyed a clear heart!
Well I saw him as a madman young,
which sought, aspired,
Whom, who elevated <душой>
Worship was not ashamed!
I said before the cool crowd
the language of true [free],
But for the crowd insignificant and dull
Funny voice noble heart.
everywhere yoke, ax il crown,
Everywhere il cowardly villain,
Tiran smoothie
Ile prejudice obedient servant.
