V staryj sad vykhozhu ja, rosinki
Kak almazy na list'jakh [gorjat]1;
I cvety mne golovkoj kivajut, 
Razlivaja krugom aromat.

Vse vlechet, veselit moi vzory: 
Zolotaja pchela na cvetke,
Raznocvetnye babochki kryl'ja 
I [pryzhki vorob'ja na peske]2.

Kak jarka `eta zelen' derev'ev! 
Kupol neba kak chist i glubok!
I brozhu ja, vostorgom ob"jatyj, 
I sleza zastilajet zrachok.

Kak ljubov'ju i radost'ju dyshit 
Vsja priroda pod veshnim luchom,
I dusha blagodarnaja chujet 
Zdes' prisutstvije Boga vo vsem!

Snova krepnut dremavshije sily;
Novoj zhizni prikhodit pora,
I stanovitsja vse tak vozmozhnym,
Chto mechtoju kazalos' vchera!

Kak prekrasna vesna! Milliony
Jej navstrechu zvuchat golosov,
I v mojom voskresajushchem serdce
Jej privet vdokhnovennyj gotov!
