Pervonachal`no stixotvorenie imelo prodolzhenie:

[No]1 ya ne tot: moi zlaty'e gody',
Bezumstva zhar, veselost`, ostrota,
Lyubov` stixov, lyubov` moej svobody',
Proxodit vsyo, kak legkaya mechta,
Tak inogda za chashej likovan`ya
Najdyosh` menya, ob``yatogo toskoj,
[Zadumchiva, s poniksheyu glavoj]2,
I ty' pojmyosh` dushi moej stradan`ya.
