Ax, pokidayu ya Aleksandriyu i dolgo videt` eyo ne budu! Uvizhu Kipr, dorogoj Bogine, uvizhu Tir, Efes i Smirnu, uvizhu Afiny' - mechtu moej yunosti, Korinf i dalekuyu Vizantiyu i venecz vsex zhelanij, cel` vsex stremlenij - uvizhu Rim velikij! - Vsyo ya uvizhu, no ne tebya! Ax, pokidayu ya tebya, moya radost`, i dolgo, dolgo tebya ne uvizhu! Raznuyu krasotu ya uvizhu, v razny'e glaza nasmotryusya, razny'e guby' celovat` budu, razny'm kudryam dam svoi laski, i razny'e imena ya sheptat` budu v ozhidan`i svidanij v razny'x roshhax. Vsyo ya uvizhu, no ne tebya!
