Ja k rozam choču, v tot edinstvennyj sad, Gde lučšaja v mire stoit iz ograd, Gde statui pomnjat menja molodoj, A ja ich pod nevskoju pomnju vodoj. V dušistoj tiši meždu carstvennych lip Mne mačt korabel'nych mereščitsja skrip. I lebed', kak prežde, plyvet skvoz' veka, Ljubujas' krasoj svoego dvojnika. I zamertvo spjat sotni tysjač šagov Vragov i druzej, druzej i vragov. A šestviju tenej ne vidno konca Ot vazy granitnoj do dveri dvorca. Tam šepčutsja belye noči moi O č'ej-to vysokoj i tajnoj ljubvi. I vse perlamutrom i jašmoj gorit, No sveta istočnik tainstvenno skryt.
