Mne cholodno. Prozračnaja vesna V zelënyj puch Petropol' odevaet, No, kak meduza, nevskaja volna Mne otvraščen'e lëgkoe vnušaet. Po naberežnoj severnoj reki Avtomobilej mčatsja svetljaki, Letjat strekozy i žuki stal'nye, Mercajut zvëzd bulavki zolotye, No nikakie zvëzdy ne ub'jut Morskoj vody tjažëlyj izumrud.
