Akh, pokidaju ja Aleksandriju
Language: Russian (Русский)
Akh, pokidaju ja Aleksandriju i dolgo videt' jejo ne budu! Uvizhu Kipr, dorogoj Bogine, uvizhu Tir, Jefes i Smirnu, uvizhu Afiny - mechtu mojej junosti, Korinf i dalekuju Vizantiju i venec vsekh zhelanij, cel' vsekh stremlenij - uvizhu Rim velikij! - Vsjo ja uvizhu, no ne tebja! Akh, pokidaju ja tebja, moja radost', i dolgo, dolgo tebja ne uvizhu! Raznuju krasotu ja uvizhu, v raznye glaza nasmotrjusja, raznye guby celovat' budu, raznym kudrjam dam svoi laski, i raznye imena ja sheptat' budu v ozhidan'i svidanij v raznykh roshchakh. Vsjo ja uvizhu, no ne tebja!
