Ja ljublju ustalyj shelest Starykh pisem, dal'nikh slov… V nikh jest' zapakh, v nikh jest' prelest' Umirajushchikh cvetov. Ja ljublju uzornyj pocherk — V njom jest' shorokh trav sukhikh. Bystrykh bukv znakomyj ocherk Tikho shepchet grustnyj stikh. Mne tak blizko obajan'e Ikh ustaloj krasoty… `Eto dereva Poznan'ja Obletevshije cvety.
