The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Silentium! (1830), Полное собрание сочинений (St Petersburg: Marks, 1913), p. 92; first printed in «Молва», 1833, no. 32 (Wikisource's note).

The whole poem, in the text Tyutchev's editors printed from 1854 on (the selection edited by Turgenev in «Современник», 1854, and the collected editions after it, among them the 1913 text quoted), which the Circle follows but for one word. The 1836 printing in «Современник» reads “Встают и заходят оне / Безмолвно, как звезды в ночи” (they rise and set silently, like stars in the night) and “Их оглушил наружный шум, / Дневные разгонят лучи” (the outer noise deafened them, the rays of day will scatter them) (edition); from 1854 these lines read «И всходят и зайдут оне, / Как звезды ясные в ночи» (both rise and set, like clear stars in the night) and «Их заглушит наружный шум, / Дневные ослепят лучи» (the outer noise will drown them, the rays of day will blind them). The Jubilee text differs from every printing saved in two places: it reads «возмутить ключи» where they read «возмутишь ключи» (you will trouble the springs), and the saved FB2 of vol. 42 sets the stanza break after that line instead of after «Питайся ими и молчи!»; both may be slips of the Jubilee text or of its transcription, and were not checked against the printed page. The punctuation follows the 1913 text except in the last line, which ends with a full stop, as in 1854. The vol. 42 list of the Circle's sources names «Тютчев Ф. И., Стихотворения» without an edition. The excerpts give lines 1–4, 7–12, and 16–18 of the 1913 text; the transcription's line numbers before lines 5, 10, and 15 and its stanza indents keep a whole stanza from being one excerpt.
