Odinochestvo

Nikto mojim slovam ne vnemlet... ja odin.
Den' gasnet... krasnymi risujas' polosami,
Na zapad uklonilis' tuchi, i kamin
Treshchit peredo mnoj. -- Ja polon ves' mechtami,
O budushchem... i dni moji tolpoj
Odnoobraznoju prokhodjat predo mnoj,
I tshchetno ja ishchu smushchennymi ochami
Mezh nikh khot' den' odin, otmechennyj sud'boj!

Loneliness

No one listens to me ... I am alone.
Day goes out ... the red strips of clouds,
Come to the West, and the fireplace
Is snapping before me. -- I am filled by dreams
About the future... and my days as a crowd
Pass monotonously in front of me,
And vainly I search with my confused eyes
Any day among them marked by fate.
