Svet vosxodyashhix zvyozd - vsya noch`, kogda ona Svetla bez mesyacza, bez oblakov temna, Zaklyuchena v glazax tvoix chudesny'x. Pri nix teryayus` ya -- i ne mogu ponyat`, I slovom ne mogu ponyatny'm peredat` Volnenij, serdczu neizvestny'x. YA veryu inogda, chto mne v glazax tvoix Chitat` lyubov` -- by'la b otrada. A inogda mne strashno vozle nix, Kak tyomnoj noch`yu vozle klada. Chto vy'razhaet mne tvoj neponyatny'j vzglyad, Kogda glaza tvoi glyadyat i ne glyadyat Iz-pod resnicz tyazhelovesny'x? Ne tak li dve zvezdy' -- dve putnicy' nebesny'x, Ne znaya, ch`i mechty' za nimi vsled tekut -- Goryat -- ne greyut -- no... vlekut.
