Svet voschodjaščich zvëzd - vsja noč', kogda ona Svetla bez mesjaca, bez oblakov temna, Zaključena v glazach tvoich čudesnych. Pri nich terjajus' ja -- i ne mogu ponjat', I slovom ne mogu ponjatnym peredat' Volnenij, serdcu neizvestnych. JA verju inogda, čto mne v glazach tvoich Čitat' ljubov' -- byla b otrada. A inogda mne strašno vozle nich, Kak tëmnoj noč'ju vozle klada. Čto vyražaet mne tvoj neponjatnyj vzgljad, Kogda glaza tvoi gljadjat i ne gljadjat Iz-pod resnic tjaželovesnych? Ne tak li dve zvezdy -- dve putnicy nebesnych, Ne znaja, č'i mečty za nimi vsled tekut -- Gorjat -- ne grejut -- no... vlekut.
