Svet voskhodjashchikh zvjozd - vsja noch', kogda ona Svetla bez mesjaca, bez oblakov temna, Zakljuchena v glazakh tvoikh chudesnykh. Pri nikh terjajus' ja -- i ne mogu ponjat', I slovom ne mogu ponjatnym peredat' Volnenij, serdcu neizvestnykh. Ja verju inogda, chto mne v glazakh tvoikh Chitat' ljubov' -- byla b otrada. A inogda mne strashno vozle nikh, Kak tjomnoj noch'ju vozle klada. Chto vyrazhajet mne tvoj neponjatnyj vzgljad, Kogda glaza tvoi gljadjat i ne gljadjat Iz-pod resnic tjazhelovesnykh? Ne tak li dve zvezdy -- dve putnicy nebesnykh, Ne znaja, ch'i mechty za nimi vsled tekut -- Gorjat -- ne grejut -- no... vlekut.
