==Texts==
1. [[Lev Mey]] (1822–1862), from an untitled poem (1859) — a translation from the German poem ''Ich wollt', meine Schmerzen ergössen'' from the cycle ''Die Heimkehr'' (1824) by [[Heinrich Heine]] (1797–1856):
{{libtext
|Original text=
<poem>
Хотел бы в единое слово
Я слить мою грусть и печаль
И бросить то слово на ветер,
Чтоб ветер унёс его вдаль.

И пусть бы то слово печали
По ветру к тебе донеслось,
И пусть бы всегда и повсюду
Оно тебе в сердце лилось!

И если б усталые очи
Сомкнулись под грезой ночной,
О, пусть-бы то слово печали
Звучало во сне над тобой!

Хотел бы в единое слово
Я слить мою грусть и печаль
И бросить то слово на ветер,
Чтоб ветер унёс его вдаль.
Чтоб ветер унёс, унёс его вдаль.
</poem>

2. [[Nikolay Grekov]] (1807–1866), from an untitled poem (by 1860):

{{libtext
|Original text=
<poem>
Не долго нам гулят рука с рукой
В саду густом, по липовым аллеям,
При блеске звёзд, вечернею порой,
И жизнь, и жизнь разнеженной, душой
Благодарить за всё, за всё, за всё, что мы имеем.

Не долго нам под обаяньем снов,
Как молодость игривых и летучих,
Следя луну в изгибах облаков,
Мечтать о том, чему нет слов,
Но что живёт в душах, в душах у нас кипучих.

О, милый друг! цвести не долго нам
Блаженством чувств! за то мы долго будем
За них судьбе страданьем дань нести
И слова, слова страшного: прости!
Мы никогда с тобой, с тобой, с тобой не позабудем.
</poem>
