Память о солнце в сердце слабеет, Желтей трава. Ветер снежинками ранними веет Едва-едва. В узких каналах уже не струится - Стынет вода. Здесь никогда ничего не случится, - О, никогда! Ива на небе пустом распластала Веер сквозной. Может быть, лучше, что я не стала Вашей женой. Память о солнце в сердце слабеет. Что это? Тьма? Может быть! За ночь прийти успеет Зима.
S. Prokofiev sets stanzas 1, 3-4
