Net, ne mogu ja zasnut'

Net, ne mogu ja zasnut', i ne zhdat', i smirit'sja,
V serdce volnen'je rastet i rastet! 
Mozhet li veter svobodnyj komu pokorit'sja? 
Mozhet li zvjozd ne blistat' khorovod? 

Net, mne ne nuzhno pokoja, ne nuzhno zabven'ja, 
Jesli zhe schast'ja nam ne dano,- 
V more otchajan'ja, v temnuju bezdnu muchen'ja 
Broshus' na samoje dno?
