Vo t'me kružitsja šar zemnoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Vo t'me kružitsja šar zemnoj, Zalityj krov'ju i slezami, Povityj smertnoj pelenoj I nerazgadannymi snami. My dolgo šli skvoz' vichr' i znoj, I zagrubeli naši lica. No leg za nami mrak nočnoj, Pred nami - vspychnula dennica. Čem bliže k utru - tem jasnej, Tem dal'še sumračnye dali. O, sonmy plačuščich tenej Nečelovečeskoj pečali! Da, v večnost' vvergnetsja toska Pred solncem pravdy vsemoguščej. Za nami srednie veka. Pred nami svet zari grjaduščej.
