Au

Tvoj nezhnyj smekh byl skazkoju izmenchivoju,
On zval kak v son zovjot svirel'nyj zvon.
I vot venkom, stikhom tebja uvenchivaju.
Ujdjom, bezhim vdvojem na gornyj sklon.

No gde zhe ty? 
Lish' zvon vershin pozvanivajet
Cvetku cvetok sred' dnja zazheg svechu.
I chej-to smekh vse v glub' menja zamanivajet.

Poju, ishchu,
Au!
Au!
krichu.
