Tol'ko vstreču ulybku tvoju
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Tol'ko vstreču ulybku tvoju
Ili vzgljad ulovlju tvoj otradnyj,
Ne tebe pesn' ljubvi ja poju,
A tvoej krasote nenagljadnoj.

Pro pevca po zarjam govorjat,
Budto rozu vljublënnoju trel'ju
Voschvaljat' neumolčno on rad
Nad dušistoj eë kolybel'ju.

No bezmolvstvuet, pyšno čista,
Molodaja vladyčica sada:
Tol'ko pesne nužna krasota,
Krasote že i pesen ne nado...
