Dorog mne pered ikonoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Dorog mne, pered ikonoj V svetloj rize zolotoj, Ėtot jaryj vosk, vozžžennyj Č'ej nevedomo rukoj. Znaju ja: sveča pylaet, Klir toržestvenno poet: Č'e-to gore utichaet, Kto-to slezy ticho l'et, Svetlyj angel upovan'ja Proletaet nad tolpoj... Ėtich sveč znamenovan'e Čuju trepetnoj dušoj: Ėto - mednyj groš vdovicy, Ėto - lepta bednjaka, Ėto... možet byt'... ubijcy Pokajannaja toska... Ėto - svetloe mgnoven'e V dikom mrake i gluši, Pamjat' slez i umilen'ja V večnost' gljanuvšej duši...
