Skučaj. Ty sozdana dlja skuki.
Bez žgučich čuvstv otrady net,
Kak net vozvrata bez razluki,
Kak bez boren'ja net pobed.

Skučaj. Skučaj, slovam ljubvi vnimaja
V tiši serdečnoj pustoty,
Privetom lživym otvečaja
Na pravdu devstvennoj mečty.

Skučaj, s rožden'ja do mogily
Zarane put' načertan tvoj,
Po kaple ty istratiš' sily,
Potom umrëš' - i Bog s toboj,
I Bog s toboj!
