Velikuju zimu Ja dolgo zhdala, Kak beluju skhimu Jee prinjala. I v legkije sani Spokojno sazhus'… Ja k vam, kitezhane, Do nochi vernus'… Za drevnej stojankoj Odin perekhod. Teper' s kitezhankoj Nikto ne pojdet: Ni brat, ni sosedka, Ni pervyj zhenikh, — Lish' khvojnaja vetka Da solnechnyj stikh, Obronennyj nishchim I podnjatyj mnoj… V poslednem zhilishche Menja upokoj.
