V mire net ničego Doždelennee sna, Čary est' u nego, U nego tišina, U nego na ustach Ni pečal' i ni smech, I v bezdonnych očach Mnogo tajnych utech. U nego široki, Široki dva kryla, I legki, tak lëgki, Kak polnočnaja mgla. Ne ponjat', kak nesët, I kuda i na čem On krylom ne vzmachnet I ne dvinet plečom.
