| When you are trying to sleep Solominka | B |
| In your enormous bedroom and are waiting | B |
| Sleepless for the high and weighty ceiling to come down | C |
| With quiet heavy sorrow on your keen eyelids | D |
| - | |
| Sonorous Solomka or seasoned Solominka | B |
| You've drunk down all death grown tender and | E |
| Been broken my dear Solomka no more alive | F |
| Not Salome no it is Solominka | B |
| - | |
| In hours of insomnia objects are heavier | G |
| As if fewer of them such a stillness | H |
| The cushions glitter in the mirror whitening a bit | I |
| And the bed is reflected in the round pool | J |
| - | |
| No it is not Solomka in her solemn satin | K |
| In a huge room above the black Neva | L |
| For twelve months they sing of the final hour | G |
| And the pale blue ice waves in the air | M |
| - | |
| Solemn December sends out its breath | N |
| As if the great Neva were in the room | O |
| No not Solominka Ligeia dying | B |
| I have learned you glorious words | P |

| - | |
| I have learned you blessed words | P |
| Lenore Solominka Ligeia Seraphita | I |
| In the enormous room the great Neva | L |
| And from the granite the blue blood flows | Q |
| - | |
| Solemn December shines above the Neva | L |
| For twelve months they sing of the final hour | G |
| No not Solominka in her satin | K |
| Savoring a slow oppressive rest | I |
| - | |
| In my blood lives December's Ligeia | R |
| Whose blissful love sleeps in a sarcophagus | H |
| And which solominka perhaps Salome | S |
| Was killed by pity and shall never return | T |
