Kak solominkoj, p'ëš' moju dušu. Znaju, vkus eë gorek i chmelen. No ja pytku mol'boj ne narušu. O, pokoj moj mnogonedelen. Kogda končiš', skaži. Ne pečal'no, Čto duši moej net na svete. JA pojdu dorogoj nedal'nej Posmotret', kak igrajut deti. Na kustach zacvetaet kryžovnik, I vezut kirpiči za ogradoj. Kto ty: brat moj ili ljubovnik, JA ne pomnju, i pomnit' ne nado. Kak svetlo zdes' i kak besprijutno, Otdychaet ustaloe telo… A prochožie dumajut smutno: Verno, tol'ko včera ovdovela.
