Kak luch zari, kak rozy Lelja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak luch zari, kak rozy Lelja,
Prekrasen cvet jee lanit;
Kak u madony Rafa`elja
Jee molchan'e govorit.
S ljud'mi gorda, sud'be pokorna,
Ne otkrovenna, ne pritvorna,
Narochno, mnilosja, ona
Byla dlja schast'ja sozdana.
No svet chego ne unichtozhit?
Chto blagorodnoje sneset,
Kakuju dushu ne sozhmet,
Ch'e samoljub'e ne umnozhit?
I ch'ikh ne obol'stit ochej
Narjadnoj maskoju svojej?
