"Umri!" - tverdit mne den' tomitel'nyj i skučnyj, "Umri!"... mne šepčet noč' tainstvennoju mgloj. I v žizni tjagostnoj, s toskoju nerazlučnyj, Bez celi ja brožu ustaloju stopoj. "Umri!" - tverdit mne um, kogda v duše unyloj Počujal ja namek na svetlyj son ljubvi... No ty, moj nežnyj drug, moj angel svetlokrylyj, Ty vzorom laskovym mne vse tverdiš': "Živi!" O, kak ja žit' choču! - Kak strastno žaždu sveta; Vozvrata pylkich grez, nesbytočnoj mečty!.. Skaži, kak vozvratit' umčavšeesja leto? Skaži, kak oživit' uvjadšie cvety? Skaži!
