Noči bezumnye, noči bessonnye,
Reči nesvjaznye, vzory ustalye...
Noči, poslednim ognem ozarennye,
Oseni mërtvoj cvety zapozdalye!

Pust' daže vremja rukoj bespoščadnoju
Mne ukazalo, čto bylo v vas ložnogo,
Vsë že leču ja k vam pamjat'ju žadnoju,
V prošlom otveta išču nevozmožnogo...

Vkradčivym šepotom vy zaglušaete
Zvuki dnevnye, nesnosnye, šumnye... 
V tichuju noč' vy moj son otgonjaete,
Noči bessonnye, noči bezumnye!
