Ne zhaleju, ne zovu, ne plachu

Ne zhaleju, ne zovu, ne plachu,
Vse projdjot, kak s belykh jablon' dym. 
Uvjadan'ja zolotom okhvachennyj,
Ja ne budu bol'she molodym. 

Ty teper' ne tak uzh budesh' bit'sja,
Serdce, tronutoje kholodkom,
I strana berjozovogo sitca
Ne zamanit shljat'sja bosikom. 

Dukh brodjazhij! ty vsjo rezhe, rezhe
Rasshevelivajesh' plamen' ust
O, moja utrachennaja svezhest',
Bujstvo glaz i polovod'je chuvstv! 

Ja teper' skupeje stal v zhelan'jakh,
Zhizn' moja, il' ty prisnilas' mne? 
Slovno ja vesennej gulkoj ran'ju
Proskakal na rozovom kone. 

Vse my, vse my v `etom mire tlenny,
Tikho l'jotsja s klenov list'jev med'... 
Bud' zhe ty vovek blagoslovenno,
Chto prishlo procvest' i umeret'.
