"Schast'je" 
Text by Tat'yana Lvovna Shchepkina-Kupernik (1874-1952)
Music by Anton Arensky, op. 70 no. 1
Prichudlivo smeshalis' svet i teni,
Vdali alleja solncem zalita.
Ishchu ja schast'ja v lepestkakh sireni,
Privychnoju mechtoju zanjata.
Uzorom strannym tenevyje pjatna
Menjajutsja na zolotom peske...
Vsja belosnezhna, divno aromatna,
Siren' drozhit v pylajushchej ruke.
A schast'ja net, shepchu ja beznadezhno,
Uzhel' najti jego ne suzhdeno?
I vdrug siren' otbroshena nebrezhno.
Shagi... ty zdes'... o, schast'je! Vot ono!
