Snovidenije

Nedavno, obol'shchen prelestnym snoviden'jem,
V vence sijajushchem, carem ja zrel sebja;
  Mechtalos', ja [ljubil]1 tebja --
  I serdce bilos' naslazhden'jem.
Ja strast' u nog tvojikh [v vostorgakh iz"jasnjal]2.
Mechty! akh! [otchego]3 vy schast'ja ne prodlili?
  No bogi ne vsego teper' menja lishili:
  Ja tol'ko -- carstvo poterjal.
