Moego tot bezumstva zhelal kto smezhal e`toj rozy' zavoi, i blestki i, rosy', Moego tot bezumstva zhelal kto svival e`ti tyazhkim uzlom nabezhavshie kosy'! Zlaya starost` xotya by' vsyu radost` vzyala a dusha moya tak zhe pred samy'm zakatom priletela b so stonom syuda kak pchela oxmelet` upivayas` takim aromatom. I soznanie schast`ya na serdce xranya stanu bujstva ya zhizni zhivy'm otgoloskom e`tot med blagovonny'j on moj dlya menya pust drugim on ostanetsya tonkim lish` voskom.
