Ach, pokidaju ja Aleksandriju
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ach, pokidaju ja Aleksandriju i dolgo videt' eë ne budu! Uvižu Kipr, dorogoj Bogine, uvižu Tir, Efes i Smirnu, uvižu Afiny - mečtu moej junosti, Korinf i dalekuju Vizantiju i venec vsech želanij, cel' vsech stremlenij - uvižu Rim velikij! - Vsë ja uvižu, no ne tebja! Ach, pokidaju ja tebja, moja radost', i dolgo, dolgo tebja ne uvižu! Raznuju krasotu ja uvižu, v raznye glaza nasmotrjusja, raznye guby celovat' budu, raznym kudrjam dam svoi laski, i raznye imena ja šeptat' budu v ožidan'i svidanij v raznych roščach. Vsë ja uvižu, no ne tebja!
