Posmotri v svoj vertograd:
V nëm narciss už raspustilsja;
Zelen kedr; vokrug obvilsja
Rannij, cepkij vinograd;1
Jablon' v cvete blagovonnom,
Budto v snežnom serebre;
Rezvoj zmejkoj po gore
Ključ bežit k dolinam sonnym...1
Vertograd svoj otopri:
Čtob zacvest', tvoj rozan snežnyj
Ždët tvoej ulybki nežnoj,
Kak luča mladoj zari.2
