by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Laisa Venere, posvjaščaja ej svoë zerkalo
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vot zerkalo moë -- primi ego, Kiprida! Boginja krasoty prekrasna budet vvek, Sedogo vremeni ne strašna ej obida: Ona -- ne smertnyj čelovek; No ja, pokorstvuja sud'bine, Ne v silach zret' sebja v prozračnosti stekla, Ni toj, kotoroj ja byla, Ni toj, kotoroj nyne.
