Pojmi chot' raz tosklivoe priznan'e,
Chot' raz uslyš' duši moljaščej ston!
JA pred toboj, prekrasnoe sozdan'e,
Bezvestnych sil dychan'em okrylën.

JA obraz tvoj lovlju pered razlukoj,
JA polon im, [i mleju, i]1 drožu, -
I, bez tebja tomjas' predsmertnoj mukoj,
Svoej toskoj, kak sčast'em, dorožu.

[Eë poju]2, vo prach upast' gotovyj,
Ty predo mnoj stoiš', kak božestvo --
I ja blažen: ja v každoj muke novoj
Tvoej krasy predvižu toržestvo.
