No v polden` list`ev shepot Tak polon tajny', shum ruch`ya Tak sladkozvuchen, morya ropot Glubokomy'slen, solnce dnya S takoj lyuboviyu priemlet Puchina morya, lunny'j lik Tak sokroven, chto serdce vnemlet Vo vsem tainstvenny'j yazy'k; I ty' nevol`no sim yavlen`yam Daruesh` zhizni krasoty', I e`tim mily'm zabluzhden`yam I verish` i ne verish` ty'!
