Pevec

Slykhali l' vy za roshchej glas nochnoj
Pevca ljubvi, pevca svojej pechali?
Kogda polja v chas utrennij molchali,
Svireli zvuk unylyj1 i prostoj
Slykhali l' vy, slykhali l' vy?

Vstrechali l' vy v pustynnoj t'me lesnoj
Pevca ljubvi, pevca svojej pechali?
[Priskorbnuju l' ulybku zamechali]2
Il' tikhij vzor, ispolnennyj toskoj,
Vstrechali vy, vstrechali vy?

Vzdokhnuli l' vy, vnimaja [tikhoj]3 glas
Pevca ljubvi, pevca svojej pechali?
Kogda v lesakh vy junoshu vidali,
Vstrechaja vzor jego potukhshikh glaz,
Vzdokhnuli l' vy, vzdokhnuli l' vy?
