Ни слова, о друг мой, ни вздоха... Мы будем с тобой молчаливы... Ведь молча над камнем могильным Склоняются грустные ивы... И только, склонившись, читают, Как я в твоём [взоре]1 усталом, Что были дни ясного счастья... Что этого счастья -- не стало!

Pas un mot, mon ami, pas un soupir... Nous resterons silencieux... Après tout en silence au-dessus de la pierre tombale, Les saules tristement s'inclinent... Et seulement ils s'inclinent et lisent Comme je lisais dans ton cœur épuisé, Quels jours de bonheur il y avait eu... Que ce bonheur est parti !
