Kogda, dusha, prosilas' ty Pogibnut' il' ljubit', Kogda zhelan'ja i mechty V tebe tesnilis' zhit', Kogda jeshchjo ja ne pil sljoz Iz chashi bytija, Zachem togda v venke iz roz K tenjam ne otbyl ja! Zachem vy nachertalis' tak Na pamjati mojej, Jedinoj molodosti znak, Vy, pesni proshlykh dnej! Ja gory, doly i lesa, I milyj vzgljad zabyl; Zachem zhe vashi golosa Mne slukh moj sokhranil! Ne vozvratite schast'ja mne, Khot' dyshit v vas ono! S nim v promel'knuvshej starine Prostilsja ja davno. Ne narushajte zh, ja molju, Vy sna dushi mojej; I slova strashnogo ljublju Ne povtorjajte jej!
