Что, Киприда, творить,
Нам повелишь?
Никнет Адóнис,
Нежный Адóнис!
«Бейте в перси, взрыдав,
Девы, по нем!
Рвите хитоны!
Умер Адóнис!»...
Плащаницей льняной
Ты повила
Тело, богиня!..
О, мой Адóнис!

Вкруг пещеры Нимф, затаенной, влага
Хладных струй шумит меж ветвей зеленых
И с листвы, колеблемой вод паденьем
Льется дремота.
