Kak luch zari, kak rozy' Lelya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak luch zari, kak rozy' Lelya,
Prekrasen czvet ee lanit;
Kak u madony' Rafae`lya
Ee molchan`e govorit.
S lyud`mi gorda, sud`be pokorna,
Ne otkrovenna, ne pritvorna,
Narochno, mnilosya, ona
By'la dlya schast`ya sozdana.
No svet chego ne unichtozhit?
Chto blagorodnoe sneset,
Kakuyu dushu ne sozhmet,
Ch`e samolyub`e ne umnozhit?
I ch`ix ne obol`stit ochej
Naryadnoj maskoyu svoej?
