Kak mne bol`no, kak xochetsya zhit`... Kak svezha i dushista vesna! Net! ne v silax ya serdcza ubit` V e`tu noch` golubuyu bez sna. Xot`-by' starost` prishla poskorej, Xot`-by' inej v kudryax zablestel, Chto-b ne pel dlya menya solovej, Chtoby' les dlya menya ne shumel, Chtoby' pesn` ne [lilas`]1 iz dushi Skvoz` sireni v shirokuyu dal`, Chtoby' ne by'lo v e`toj tishi Mne chego to muchitel`no zhal`!
