Ja k rozam khochu, v tot jedinstvennyj sad, Gde luchshaja v mire stoit iz ograd, Gde statui pomnjat menja molodoj, A ja ikh pod nevskoju pomnju vodoj. V dushistoj tishi mezhdu carstvennykh lip Mne macht korabel'nykh mereshchitsja skrip. I lebed', kak prezhde, plyvet skvoz' veka, Ljubujas' krasoj svojego dvojnika. I zamertvo spjat sotni tysjach shagov Vragov i druzej, druzej i vragov. A shestviju tenej ne vidno konca Ot vazy granitnoj do dveri dvorca. Tam shepchutsja belye nochi moi O ch'ej-to vysokoj i tajnoj ljubvi. I vse perlamutrom i jashmoj gorit, No sveta istochnik tainstvenno skryt.
