Fontan lyubvi, fontan zhivoj! Prinyos ya v dar tebe dve rozy'. Lyublyu nemolchny'j govor tvoj I poe`ticheskie slyozy'. Tvoya serebryanaya py'l` Menya kropit rosoyu xladnoj: Ax, lejsya, lejsya, klyuch otradny'j! Zhurchi, zhurchi svoyu mne by'l`... Fontan lyubvi, fontan pechal`ny'j! I ya tvoj mramor voproshal; Xvalu strane prochel ya dal`noj; No o Marii ty' molchal... Svetilo blednoe garema! I zdes` uzhel` zabvenno ty'? Ili Mariya i Zarema Odin schastlivy'e mechty'? Il` tol`ko son voobrazhen`ya V pusty'nnoj mgle narisoval Svoi minutny'e viden`ya, Dushi neyasny'j ideal?
