Ditja mojo, ostan'sja zdes' so mnoj

Ditja mojo, 
  Ostan'sja zdes' so mnoj:
V vode privol'noje zhit'jo 
  I kholod, i pokoj.

Ja sozovu [mojikh]1 sestjor, 
  My pljaskoj krugovoj
Razveselim [tumannyj]2 vzor
  I dukh ustalyj tvoj!

Usni, postel' tvoja mjagka, 
  Prozrachen tvoj pokrov.
[Projdut goda, projdut veka]3
  Pod govor chudnykh snov.

O milyj moj! ne utaju, 
  Chto ja tebja ljublju, 
Ljublju kak vol'nuju struju, 
  Ljublju kak zhizn' moju...
