By'lo vremya, proczvetala V mire nasha storona: V voskresenie by'vala Czerkov` bozhiya polna; Nashix detok v shumnoj shkole Razdavalis` golosa, I sverkali v svetlom pole Serp i by'straya kosa. Ny'ne cerkov` opustela; Shkola gluxo zaperta; Niva prazdno perezrela; Roshha temnaya pusta; I selen`e, kak zhilishhe Pogoreloe, stoit, — Tixo vse. Odno kladbishhe Ne pusteet, ne molchit. Pominutno mertvy'x nosyat, I stenaniya zhivy'x Boyazlivo boga prosyat Upokoit` dushi ix! [Pominutno mesta nado, I mogily' mezh soboj, Kak ispugannoe stado, Zhmutsya tesnoj cheredoj!]1 Esli rannyaya mogila Suzhdena moej vesne — Ty', kogo ya tak lyubila, Ch`ya lyubov` otrada mne, — YA molyu: ne priblizhajsya K telu Dzhenni ty' svoej, Ust umershix ne kasajsya, Sleduj izdali za nej. [I]2 potom ostav` selen`e! Uxodi kuda-nibud`, Gde b ty' mog dushi muchen`e Usladit` i otdoxnut`. I kogda zaraza minet, Poseti moj bedny'j prax; A E`dmonda ne pokinet Dzhenni dazhe v nebesax!
