Kto slëzy l'ët
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kto slëzy l'ët, prosterši ruki
Ot skorbnoj serdca polnoty,
Č'ja grust' tjaželaja razluki
Pečalit nežnye čerty?
Ona stoit pered ikonoj,
Na nej drožit lampady svet;
Ee molitvy oboronoj
Tebe ot gorestej i bed!

To mčitsja vdal' ona mečtoju,
Pokinuv spjaščuju sem'ju,
To smotrit s tichoju toskoju
Na opustevšuju skam'ju,
Gde ty vsegda sidel, byvalo,
Skučal pokojnoju sud'boj!..
Ona s priskorbiem vnimala
I govorila: «Bog s toboj!»

I sile toj molitvy verja,
Ty dobryj duch neseš' v sebe,
Gotov idti, ne licemerja,
Navstreču žizni i bor'be!
O, čto by ni moglo slučit'sja,
No znat' otradno každyj čas,
Čto est' komu za nas molit'sja,
Komu ljubit' i pomnit' nas!
