Pakhnet gar'ju. Chetyre nedeli Torf sukhoj po bolotam gorit. Dazhe pticy segodnja ne peli, I osina uzhe ne drozhit. Stalo solnce nemilost'ju Bozh'ej, Dozhdik s Paskhi polej ne kropil. Prikhodil odnonogij prokhozhij I odin na dvore govoril: "Sroki strashnye blizjatsja. Skoro Stanet tesno ot svezhikh mogil. Zhdite glada, i trusa, i mora, I zatmen'ja nebesnykh svetil. Tol'ko nashej zemli ne razdelit Na potekhu sebe supostat: Bogorodica belyj rasstelet Nad skorbjami velikimi plat".
