by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Kolybel' moja kachalas'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kolybel' moja kachalas'
U Siona, i nad nej
Pal'ma bozhija sklonjalas'
Temnoj kupoju vetvej;

Belykh lilij Idumei
Snezhnyj venchik cvel krugom,
Belyj golub' Iudei
Rejal laskovym krylom.

Otchego zh poroj grushchu ja?
Chto gotovit mne sud'ba?
Vsjo smirenno, vsjo primu ja,
Kak Gospodnjaja raba!
