Ljudi spjat; moj drug, pojdëm v tenistvyj sad. Ljudi spjat, odni liš' zvëzdy k nam gljadjat, Da i te ne vidjat nas sredi vetvej, I ne slyšat, slyšit tol'ko solovej... Da i tot ne slyšit: pesn' ego gromka. [Razve slyšat]1 tol'ko serdce da ruka. Slyšit serdce, skol'ko radostej zemli, Skol'ko sčastija sjuda my prinesli. Da ruka, uslyša, serdcu govorit, Čto [čužaja]2 v nej pylaet i drožit, Čto i ej ot ėtoj droži gorjačo, Čto k [pleču]3 nevol'no klonitsja plečo...
