Pust' govorjat: poėzija-mečta, Gorjački serdca bred ničtožnyj, Čto mir eë est' mir pustoj i ložnyj, I blednyj vymysl - krasota; Pust' net dlja [morechodcev]1 dal'nych Siren opasnych, net driad V lesach gustych, v ruč'jach kristal'nych Zolotovlasych net najad; Pust' Zevs iz dlani ne nizvodit Razjaščej molnii potok, I na noč' Gelios ne schodit K Fetide v purpurnyj čertog: Pust' tak! No v polden' list'ev šepot Tak polon tajny, šum ruč'ja Tak sladkozvučen, morja ropot Glubokomyslen, solnce dnja S takoj ljuboviju priemlet Pučina morja, lunnyj lik Tak sokroven, čto serdce vnemlet Vo vsem tainstvennyj jazyk; I ty nevol'no sim javlen'jam Darueš' žizni krasoty, I ėtim milym zablužden'jam I veriš' i ne veriš' ty!
