[Landyši-ljutiki]1. Laski ljubovnye.
Lastočki lepet. Lobzan'e lučej.
Les zelenejuščij. Lug rascvetajuščij.
Svetlyj svobodnyj žurčaščij ručej.

Den' dogoraet. Zakat zagoraetsja.
Šëpotom, ropotom rošči polny.
Novyj vostorg voskresaet dlja žitelej 
Skazočnoj svetloj svobodnoj strany.

Vetra večernego vzdoch zamirajuščij.
Polnoj Luny peremenčivyj lik.
Radost' bezumnaja. Grust' neponjatnaja.
Mig nevozmožnogo. Sčastija mig.
