[Moj milyj drug]1! rasstalsja ja s toboju.
Dušoj usnuv, bezmolvno ja grušču.
Blesnet li den' za sineju goroju,
Vzojdet li noč' s osenneju lunoju,
JA vse tebja, dalekij drug, išču;
Odnu tebja vezde vospominaju,
Odnu tebja v nevernom vižu sne;
Zadumajus' — nevol'no prizyvaju,
Zaslušajus' — tvoj golos slyšen mne.

I ty so mnoj, o lira, priunyla,
Napersnica duši moej bol'noj!
Tvoej struny pečalen zvon gluchoj,
I liš' toski ty golos ne zabyla!..
O vernaja, grusti, grusti so mnoj!
Puskaj tvoi nebrežnye napevy
Izobrazjat unynie ljubvi,
I, slušaja brjacanija tvoi,
Puskaj vzdochnut zadumčivye devy!
