Snova son na ustalye oči nejdët
JA odin... No v nemoj tišine
Kto-to ticho mne skorbnye pesni poët
Naklonjaetsja nežno ko mne.

Zamiraet duša... Očarovannyj sluch 
Lovit zvuki znakomych rečej...
To ne ty li, želannyj, nevedomyj drug,
Grëza detskich, umčavšichsja dnej?

To ne ty-li k komu tščetno rvus' ja vsegda 
I k komu ja vzyvaju s mol'boj, 
O, podruga duši, to ne ty-l'? — esli da, 
To javis' poskorej predo mnoj!

Istomilasja grud' ot vsednevnych trevog,
Gasnet v serdce želanij vsech pyl...
I davno uže mne moj nasmešlivyj rok
Vse dorogi k blaženstvu zakryl.

Dorogaet sveča... Noč' gluchaja plyvët.
JA odin... I v nemoj tišine
Kto-to ticho mne skorbnye pesni poët,
Naklonjaetsja nežno ko mne.
