Meždu nebom i zemlëj 
Pesnja razdaëtsja,
Neischodnoju struëj 
Gromče gromče l'ëtsja.

Ne vidat' pevca polej! 
Gde poët tak gromko
Nad podružen'koj svoej 
Žavoronok zvonkij.

Veter pesenku nesët, 
A komu, ne znaet.
Ta, k komu ona pojmët, 
Ot kogo -- uznaet!

Lejsja ž, pesenka moja, 
Pesn' nadeždy sladkoj...
Kto-to vspomnit pro menja 
I vzdochnët ukradkoj.
