by Vladimir Grigorevich Benediktov (1807 - 1873)

Zavetnaja zvezda
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Jarko solnce nad Kavkazom:
Gory v jasnoj sineve;
Bleščut radužnym almazom
Po lazorevoj kanve;
No vsë mertvo i bescvetno,
Net otrady dlja očej,
Kol' ne vižu ja zavetnoj
Miloj zvezdočki moej.

Zvučno o bereg Kubani
Pleščet šumnaja volna,
I prekrasna, kak v tumane,
Noč'ju plavaet luna;
No bez zvezdočki ljubimoj
I prirody krasoty
V vyšine neobozrimoj
Ne plenjat moej mečty.

Ne blesnet i na mgnoven'e
Mne ljubimaja zvezda,
Znat', bylye naslažden'ja
Minovali navsegda.
Grustny serdca predskazan'ja,
Ne leleet mne očej,
Ne uvižu ja sijan'ja
Miloj zvezdočki moej.
