Память о солнце в сердце слабеет, Желтей трава. Ветер снежинками ранними веет Едва-едва. В узких каналах уже не струится - Стынет вода. Здесь никогда ничего не случится, - О, никогда! Ива на небе пустом распластала Веер сквозной. Может быть, лучше, что я не стала Вашей женой. Память о солнце в сердце слабеет. Что это? Тьма? Может быть! За ночь прийти успеет Зима.
S. Prokofiev sets stanzas 1, 3-4

Nel cuore scolora la memoria del sole, è più pallida l'erba. Alita il vento un precoce nevischio, leggero, leggero. Per gli stretti canali più non fluisce, L'acqua gelata. E qui nulla potrà mai accadere, più nulla ormai! Distende il salice verso il vasto cielo Il suo trasparente ventaglio. E' stato forse meglio che non sia diventata Tua moglie. Nel cuore scolora il ricordo del sole. E ora che cosa? Il buio? Forse! ... Con la notte farà in tempo ad arrivare L'inverno.
