by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Otcy pustynniki i zhjony neporochny
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Otcy pustynniki i zhjony neporochny,
Chtob serdcem vozletat' vo oblasti zaochny,
Chtob ukrepljat' jego sred' dol'nikh bur' i bitv,
Slozhili mnozhestvo bozhestvennykh molitv;
No ni odna iz nikh menja ne umiljajet,
Kak ta, kotoruju svjashchennik povtorjajet
Vo dni pechal'nye Velikogo posta;
Vsekh chashche mne ona prikhodit na usta
I padshego krepit nevedomoju siloj:
Vladyko dnej moikh! dukh prazdnosti unyloj,
Ljubonachalija, zmei sokrytoj sej,
I prazdnoslovija ne daj dushe mojej.
No daj mne zret' moi, o bozhe, pregreshen'ja,
Da brat moj ot menja ne primet osuzhden'ja,
I dukh smirenija, terpenija, ljubvi
I celomudrija mne v serdce ozhivi.
