Kak vsjo spokojno i kak vsjo otkryto! Kak na zemle stalo tikho i bedno! Sad osypajetsja, - vse v njom zabyto, Nebo veliko i kholodno-bledno... Nebo dalekoje, ne ty li, nemoje, Menja pugajesh' svoim prostorom? Zdes', v `etoj bednosti, gde vse rodnoje, Vstrechu ja osen' radostnym vzorom. Jeshchjo rassejan ogon' listopada, I redkije kraski laskovo-jarki; Jeshchjo sinicy svishchut iz sada, I kak im tikho v zabytom parke! I tol'ko noch'ju, kogda bushujet Osennij veter, vse chuzhdo snova... I odinokoje serdce toskujet: O, jesli by blizost' serdca rodnogo.
