Dym stolbom kipit, dymitsja parochod! Pestrota, razgul, volnen'e, ožidan'e, neterpen'e! [Veselitsja i likuet ves']1 narod. I bystree, šibče voli poezd mčitsja v čistom pole. Net, tajnaja duma bystree letit, I serdce mgnoven'ja sčitaja stučit. Kovarnye dumy mel'kajut dorogoj, I šepčeš' nevol'no: Kak dolgo, kak dolgo? Ne vozduch, ne zelen' stradal'ca manjat. Tam jasnye oči tak jarko gorjat. Tak polnyj blaženstva minuty svidan'ja, Tak sladki nadeždoj časy rasstavan'ja.
