S borodoju sedoju verkhovnyj ja zhrec, Na tebja vozlozhu ja dushistyj venec, I netlennoju sol'ju gorjashchikh rechej Ja osyplju nevinnuju roskosh' kudrej. `Etu detskuju grud' rasseku ja potom Vdokhnovennogo slova zvenjashchim mechom, I raskrojet potomku minuvshego mgla, Chto na svete vsekh chishche ty serdcem byla.
