Posmotri, v prostorax matovy'x potuxayushhej zari Est` zhemchuzhinka, kotoraya zasvetilas` iznutri. E`to — ta lampada vechnaya, nerazluchnaya so mnoj, Chto gorit zvezdoj Vecherneyu nad izognutoj Lunoj. Ax, ot ostrogo i nezhnogo, tonko-belogo Serpa K dnyam minuvshim oznachaetsya ele zrimaya tropa. Vizhu tixuyu ya detskuyu, luch lampady' v plyaske snov, I gryadushhee mereshhitsya — tam — kak nitka zhemchugov.
