Bezumnaja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Menja zhestokije branjat,
Menja bezumnoj nazyvajut,
Spokojnoj, smirnoj byt' veljat,
Molit'sja bogu zastavljajut.
O, zdes', daleko ot svoikh…
Pokoj bezhit ochej moikh;
V chuzhoj, ugrjumoj storone
Net sil molit'sja bogu mne! 

No bud' ja tam, gde Don rodnoj
Shumit znakomymi volnami,
Gde terem otcheskij, prostoj
V teni taitsja pod dubami,
Tam stanu ja pokoja zhdat',
Tam stanu boga umoljat',
Chtob, szhaljas' nad toskoj mojej,
On mne konec poslal skorej.

O, kak mne, bednoj, ne tuzhit'!
Ty, radost', i menja manila;
I ja sbiralas' v svete zhit',
Byla mila jemu, ljubila,
I v cerkov' bozh'ju vsja v cvetakh
Poshla s rumjancem na shchekakh;
I pomnju to, chto s zhenikhom
I ja stojala pod vencom.

No gibnet radost' navsegda;
K bede, k slezam ja probudilas', —
I jasnaja ljubvi zvezda
V krovavom oblake zatmilas'!
Sokrylsja moj privetnyj svet,
Jego ishchu — jego uzh net!
Akh, uletaja, angel moj,
Chto ne vzjal ty menja s soboj!
