Iz‑pod maski
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Iz-pod maski
Černy glazki
Dyšat plamenem strastej!
No serdečko,
Budto svečka,
Teplitsja edva u nej.
V razgovore
I vo vzore
Žizn', stradan'e i ljubov'!
No na dele
Ele-ele
L'etsja vjalo v žilach krov'.

Mnogo bleska,
Šuma, treska,
To potešnye ogni;
No edva li
Sožigali
Čto kogda-libo oni.
I koketka,
Kak raketka,
Vdrug vzov'etsja, zablestit,
No, sgoraja,
I pustaja
S neba na zemlju letit.
