Gde sladkij šëpot
[Moich lesov?]1
Potokov ropot,
Cvety lugov?
Derev'ja goly;
Kovër zimy
Pokryl cholmy,
Luga i doly.
Pod ledjanoj
Svoej koroj
Ručej nemeet;
Vse cepeneet,
Liš' veter zloj,
Bušuja, voet
I nebo kroet
Sedoju mgloj.

Začem, toskuja,
V okno sležu ja
Meteli lët?
Ljubimcu sčast'ja
Krov ot nenast'ja
Ono daët.
Ogon' treskučij
V moej peči;
Ego luči
I pyl letučij
Mne veseljat
Bespečnyj vzgljad.
V tiši mečtaju
Pered živoj
Ego igroj
I zabyvaju
JA buri voj.

O, providen'e,
Blagodaren'e!
Zabudu ja
I dunoven'e
Bur' bytija.
Skorbja dušoju,
V toske moej,
Sklonjus' glavoju
Na serdce k nej,
I pod mjatežnoj
Metel'ju bed,
Ljubov'ju nežnoj
Eë sogret,
Zabudu vskore
Krutoe gore,
Kak v ėtot mig
Zabyl prirody
Grobovyj lik
I nepogody
Mjatežnyj krik.
