«Poceluj menja... Moja grud' v ogne... Ja jeshchjo ljublju... Naklonis' ko mne.» Tak v proshchal'nyj chas Lepetal i gas Tikhij golos tvoj, Slovno tajushchij V glubine dushi Dogorajushchej. Ja dyshat' ne smel -- Ja v lico tvojo, Kak mertvec, gljadel -- Ja sklonil moj slukh... No, uvy! moj drug, Tvoj poslednij vzdokh Mne ljubvi tvojej Doskazat' ne mog. I ne znaju ja, Chjom razvjazhetsja `Eta zhizn' moja! Gde doskazhetsja Mne ljubov' tvoja!
