"Umri!" - tverdit mne den` tomitel`ny'j i skuchny'j, "Umri!"... mne shepchet noch` tainstvennoyu mgloj. I v zhizni tyagostnoj, s toskoyu nerazluchny'j, Bez celi ya brozhu ustaloyu stopoj. "Umri!" - tverdit mne um, kogda v dushe uny'loj Pochuyal ya namek na svetly'j son lyubvi... No ty', moj nezhny'j drug, moj angel svetlokry'ly'j, Ty' vzorom laskovy'm mne vse tverdish`: "Zhivi!" O, kak ya zhit` xochu! - Kak strastno zhazhdu sveta; Vozvrata py'lkix grez, nesby'tochnoj mechty'!.. Skazhi, kak vozvratit` umchavsheesya leto? Skazhi, kak ozhivit` uvyadshie czvety'? Skazhi!
