"Umri!" - tverdit mne den' tomitel'nyj i skuchnyj, "Umri!"... mne shepchet noch' tainstvennoju mgloj. I v zhizni tjagostnoj, s toskoju nerazluchnyj, Bez celi ja brozhu ustaloju stopoj. "Umri!" - tverdit mne um, kogda v dushe unyloj Pochujal ja namek na svetlyj son ljubvi... No ty, moj nezhnyj drug, moj angel svetlokrylyj, Ty vzorom laskovym mne vse tverdish': "Zhivi!" O, kak ja zhit' khochu! - Kak strastno zhazhdu sveta; Vozvrata pylkikh grez, nesbytochnoj mechty!.. Skazhi, kak vozvratit' umchavshejesja leto? Skazhi, kak ozhivit' uvjadshije cvety? Skazhi!
