Moj čerëd... Na meste lobnom Petlja strašnaja visit, Molča v neterpen'i zlobnom Vkrug tolpa vragov stoit; Molča, s borodoju krasnoj, Vstal palač peredo mnoj. No smeëtsja razum moj, ,,Vsë, ja znaju, vsë naprasno!`` JA smejus', v lico vragu JA kriču: ,,Ja žil, stradaja, Neprestanno umiraja, Umeret' ja ne mogu! Sotni raz živoj skelet, Žalkij červ' vo t'me mogily. Vnov' ja žizn' i duch i svet, I dychan'e novoj sily!``
