Kak mne bol'no, kak khochetsja zhit'... Kak svezha i dushista vesna! Net! ne v silakh ja serdca ubit' V `etu noch' golubuju bez sna. Khot'-by starost' prishla poskorej, Khot'-by inej v kudrjakh zablestel, Chto-b ne pel dlja menja solovej, Chtoby les dlja menja ne shumel, Chtoby pesn' ne [lilas']1 iz dushi Skvoz' sireni v shirokuju dal', Chtoby ne bylo v `etoj tishi Mne chego to muchitel'no zhal'!
