E`j, shutka-molodost`! Kak novy'j, rannij sneg
Vsegda i chist i svezh! Czaricza tajny'x neg,
Luna zerkal`naya nad drevneyu Moskvoyu
Odnu vy'vodit noch` blestyashhej za drugoyu.
Chto, vse li uleglis`, usnuli? Ne pora l`?..
Na serdce zhar lyubvi, i trepet, i pechal`!..
Begu! Dalekie, kak by' v voznagrazhden`e,
Shlyut zvezdy' v inee svoe izobrazhen`e.
V siyan`i polnochi bezmolven son Kremlya.
Pod by'stroyu stopoj promerzlaya zemlya
Zvuchit, i po krutoj, xotya nedavnej stuzhe
Doxodit boj chasov pory'vistej i tuzhe.
Begu! Nigde ognya, - sosedi polegli,
I kazhdy'j zvuk shagov, razdavshijsya vdali,
Il` teni na stene blestyashhej koly'xan`e
Mne napryagaet slux, prervav moe dy'xan`e.
