Grustno! Ponikli ustaly'e ruki,
Vzor opechalenny'j klonitsya dolu;
Vse dorogoe, bez gneva i muki,
Xochetsya v zhertvu otdat` proizvolu!

Grustno… He trogajte serdcza bol`nogo,
Mimo idite s uchastiem, drugi:
Brosit` mogu ya vam gor`koe slovo
Zhestkoyu platoj za vashi uslugi.

Dajte mne, lyudi, poby't` nelyudimy'm,
Dajte unyat`sya nevedomoj boli:
Kamnem toska nalegla nekrushimy'm…
E`x, umeret`, razry'dat`sya by' — chto li!
