O deva čudnaja moja,
Tvoej ljubov'ju sčastliv ja!
Pripav čelom k moej grudi
V nemom vostorge taeš' ty.

Tak mnogo plameni v očach!
Tak mnogo negi na ustach!
Trepeščet grud', ty vsja drožiš'.
Bez slov ty kljatvy mne dariš'.

Lobzan'e dlitsja bez rečej.
JA p'ju vostorg ljubvi tvoej
V nevozmutimoj tišine.
No esli ty izmeniš' mne...

O deva bednaja moja!
I dik i mračen budu ja,
I burju smerti podymu
Tebe i drugu tvoemu!

Dymitsja krov', nesëtsja krik,
A ja k ustam tvoim prinik,
JA rvu poslednij zvuk rečej,
Poslednij vzor tvoich očej.

Ljubvi krylatye mečty,
Nadeždy, sčast'e - vsë prosti;
JA videl vas v kovarnom sne,
No net - ty ne izmeniš' mne.
