Smotri: von oblako nesëtsja serebristoe; Vezde vokrug nego sijaet nebo čistoe, Kak molodost' prekrasnaja tvoja. I utra blesk na nëm tak jarko otražaetsja; I tak ono svetlo, kak budto ulybaetsja -- Ono pochože na tebja, ono pochože na tebja. Smotri: von tuča tam vychodit odinokaja; Ona temna, kak noč', kak grust' duši glubokaja - Ne prosvetlit eë sijan'e dnja... Byt' možet ottogo ona mračna tak groznaja, Čto s svetlym oblakom dana stezja ej roznaja, -- Ona pochoža na menja, ona pochoža na menja.
