V minuty gor'kogo razdum'ja i pechali
Brodit' po tem mestam, gde vmeste my guljali, —
I dazhe inogda vecherneju poroj,
Ljubujas' blednoju i grustnoju lunoj,
Pripominat' tot sad, tu temnuju alleju,
Otkuda my lunoj plenjalis' vmeste s neju,
No, bol'she nasheju ljuboviju polny,
Chem tikhim vecherom i prelest'ju luny,
Vljublennye glaza drug k drugu obrashchali
I v dolgij poceluj usta svoi slivali...
