Kak luč zari, kak rozy Lelja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak luč zari, kak rozy Lelja,
Prekrasen cvet ee lanit;
Kak u madony Rafaėlja
Ee molčan'e govorit.
S ljud'mi gorda, sud'be pokorna,
Ne otkrovenna, ne pritvorna,
Naročno, mnilosja, ona
Byla dlja sčast'ja sozdana.
No svet čego ne uničtožit?
Čto blagorodnoe sneset,
Kakuju dušu ne sožmet,
Č'e samoljub'e ne umnožit?
I č'ich ne obol'stit očej
Narjadnoj maskoju svoej?
