O chjom v tishi nochej

O chjom v tishi nochej tajinstvenno mechtaju,
O chjom pri svete dnja vsechasno pomyshljaju,
To budet tajnoj vsem. I dazhe ty, moj stikh,
Ty, drug moj vetrenyj, uslada dnej mojikh,
Tebe ne peredam dushi mojej mechtan'ja.
A to rasskazhesh' ty, chej glas v nochnom molchan'ji
Mne slyshitsja, chej lik ja v sjudu nakhozu, 
Ch'ji ochi svetjat mne, ch'jo imja ja tverzhu.
