Voda v reke zhurchit prokhladna, i ten' ot gor lozhitsja v pole, i gasnet v nebe svet. I pticy uzhe letajut v snoviden'jakh, i dvornik s chjornymi usami stoit vsju noch' pod vorotami i cheshet grjaznymi rukami pod grjaznoj shapkoj svoj zatylok, i v oknakh slyshen krik vesjolyj i topot nog i zvon butylok. Prokhodit den', potom nedelja, potom goda prokhodjat mimo, i ljudi strojnymi rjadami v svoikh mogilakh ischezajut, a dvornik s chjornymi usami stoit goda pod vorotami i cheshet grjaznymi rukami pod grjaznoj shapkoj svoj zatylok, i v oknakh slyshen krik vesjolyj i topot nog i zvon butylok. Luna i solnce pobledneli, sozvezd'ja formu izmenili, dvizhen'e sdelalos' tjaguchim, i vremja stalo kak pesok, a dvornik s chjornymi usami stoit opjat' pod vorotami i cheshet grjaznymi rukami pod grjaznoj shapkoj svoj zatylok, i v oknakh slyshen krik vesjolyj i topot nog i zvon butylok.
