by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Otcy pustynniki i žëny neporočny
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Otcy pustynniki i žëny neporočny,
Čtob serdcem vozletat' vo oblasti zaočny,
Čtob ukrepljat' ego sred' dol'nich bur' i bitv,
Složili množestvo božestvennych molitv;
No ni odna iz nich menja ne umiljaet,
Kak ta, kotoruju svjaščennik povtorjaet
Vo dni pečal'nye Velikogo posta;
Vsech čašče mne ona prichodit na usta
I padšego krepit nevedomoju siloj:
Vladyko dnej moich! duch prazdnosti unyloj,
Ljubonačalija, zmei sokrytoj sej,
I prazdnoslovija ne daj duše moej.
No daj mne zret' moi, o bože, pregrešen'ja,
Da brat moj ot menja ne primet osužden'ja,
I duch smirenija, terpenija, ljubvi
I celomudrija mne v serdce oživi.
