Snova son na ustaly'e ochi nejdyot
YA odin... No v nemoj tishine
Kto-to tixo mne skorbny'e pesni poyot
Naklonyaetsya nezhno ko mne.

Zamiraet dusha... Ocharovanny'j slux 
Lovit zvuki znakomy'x rechej...
To ne ty' li, zhelanny'j, nevedomy'j drug,
Gryoza detskix, umchavshixsya dnej?

To ne ty'-li k komu tshhetno rvus` ya vsegda 
I k komu ya vzy'vayu s mol`boj, 
O, podruga dushi, to ne ty'-l`? — esli da, 
To yavis` poskorej predo mnoj!

Istomilasya grud` ot vsednevny'x trevog,
Gasnet v serdce zhelanij vsex py'l...
I davno uzhe mne moj nasmeshlivy'j rok
Vse dorogi k blazhenstvu zakry'l.

Dorogaet svecha... Noch` gluxaya ply'vyot.
YA odin... I v nemoj tishine
Kto-to tixo mne skorbny'e pesni poyot,
Naklonyaetsya nezhno ko mne.
