[Moj mily'j drug]1! rasstalsya ya s toboyu.
Dushoj usnuv, bezmolvno ya grushhu.
Blesnet li den` za sineyu goroyu,
Vzojdet li noch` s osenneyu lunoyu,
YA vse tebya, dalekij drug, ishhu;
Odnu tebya vezde vospominayu,
Odnu tebya v nevernom vizhu sne;
Zadumayus` — nevol`no prizy'vayu,
Zaslushayus` — tvoj golos sly'shen mne.

I ty' so mnoj, o lira, priuny'la,
Napersnicza dushi moej bol`noj!
Tvoej struny' pechalen zvon gluxoj,
I lish` toski ty' golos ne zaby'la!..
O vernaya, grusti, grusti so mnoj!
Puskaj tvoi nebrezhny'e napevy'
Izobrazyat uny'nie lyubvi,
I, slushaya bryaczaniya tvoi,
Puskaj vzdoxnut zadumchivy'e devy'!
