The article discusses the elements of song and Romance in Blok’s lyrics, as well as the problems of establishing specifi c Romance sources of his poems of the 1900–1910s. Using the textual evidence from the poet’s notebook, the author analyzes the transformation of the Romance lyrics by Wanderer, «The Bells are Ringing», in Blok’s cycles The Iambi and Gray Morning, and outlines the connotations of rebellious motifs and images in one of Wanderer’s most popular poems of the 1900s, «I’m Not With You, and Thus in Vain…» in the poems from the The Iambi cycle. The article introduces the academic community to unpublished materials from the archives of Blok and Wanderer.
