Zemlja khotja i ne rodnaja, No pamjatnaja navsegda, I v more nezhno-ledjanaja I nesolenaja voda. Na dne pesok beleje mela, A vozdukh p'janyj, kak vino, I sosen rozovoje telo V zakatnyj chas obnazheno. A sam zakat v volnakh `efira Takoj, chto mne ne razobrat', Konec li dnja, konec li mira, Il' tajna tajn vo mne opjat'.
