Včera my vstretilis': -- ona ostanovilas' -- JA takže -- my v glaza drug drugu posmotreli. O Bože, kak ona s tech por peremenilas', V glazach potuch ogon', i ščëki pobledneli. I dolgo na neë gljadel ja molča strogo -- Mne ruku protjanuv, bednjažka ulybnulas'; JA govorit' chotel -- ona že radi Boga Velela mne molčat', i tut že otvernulas', I brovi sdvinula, i vydernula ruku, I molvila: «Proščajte, do svidan'ja.» A ja chotel skazat': «Na večnuju razluku Proščaj, pogibšee, no miloe sozdan'e.»
