Zvjozdy noch'ju vesennej nezhneje, Solov'i ostorozhnej pojut... Ja ljublju `eti tjomnye nochi, `Eti zvjozdy, i kljony, i prud. Ty, kak zvjozdy, chista i prekrasna... Radost' zhizni vo vsem ja lovlju: V zvezdnom nebe, v cvetakh, v aromatakh... No tebja ja nezhneje ljublju. Lish' s toboju [odnoju ja schastliv]1, I tebja ne zamenit [nikto]2: Ty odna menja znajesh' i ljubish' I odna ponimajesh' -- za chto!
