V stary'j sad vy'xozhu ya, rosinki
Kak almazy' na list`yax [goryat]1;
I czvety' mne golovkoj kivayut, 
Razlivaya krugom aromat.

Vse vlechet, veselit moi vzory': 
Zolotaya pchela na czvetke,
Raznoczvetny'e babochki kry'l`ya 
I [pry'zhki vorob`ya na peske]2.

Kak yarka e`ta zelen` derev`ev! 
Kupol neba kak chist i glubok!
I brozhu ya, vostorgom ob``yaty'j, 
I sleza zastilaet zrachok.

Kak lyubov`yu i radost`yu dy'shit 
Vsya priroda pod veshnim luchom,
I dusha blagodarnaya chuet 
Zdes` prisutstvie Boga vo vsem!

Snova krepnut dremavshie sily';
Novoj zhizni prixodit pora,
I stanovitsya vse tak vozmozhny'm,
Chto mechtoyu kazalos` vchera!

Kak prekrasna vesna! Milliony'
Ej navstrechu zvuchat golosov,
I v moyom voskresayushhem serdce
Ej privet vdoxnovenny'j gotov!
