Ya skoro umru! Menya polozhite 
  V mogilu k vostoku liczom. 
Nad domom Zyulejki tam kedry', platany'
  Raskinuty' py'shny'm shatrom. 
V teni ix Zyulejka, by't` mozhet, mechtaet 
  O vernom, dalekom pevce. 
By't` mozhet zaplachet pri vesti o skorbnom 
  Ego bezrazsudnom konce. 
Ax, imya moe ona shepotom grustno 
  Pri zvezdax v tishi nazovet.
Ot radosti vnov` ozhivu ya v mogile 
  Ot schast`ya vnov` serdce zamret.
