[Smerkalos`, zharkij]1 den` blednel neulovimo. Nad ozerom tuman tyanulsya polosoj, I krotkij obraz tvoj, znakomy'j i lyubimy'j, V vechernij tixij chas nosilsya predo mnoj. Uly'bka ta zh by'la, kotoruyu lyublyu ya, I myagkaya kosa, kak prezhde, rasplelas`, I ochi grustny'e, po-prezhnemu toskuya, Glyadeli na menya v vechernij tixij chas.
