Zvëzdy
Language: Russian (Русский) 
    I svet vo t'me sijaet
    i t'ma ne ob"jala Ego.
    (Sv. Evangelie ot Ioanna)

Kogda nadvinut polog noči
Nad mirom, skovannym vo sne,
Sverkajut zvezdy, - Bož'i oči, -
Sapfirom jarkim v vyšine.

Sozdatel', mošč'ju beskonečnyj,
Sijat' vo t'me im povelel.
- Da znaet mir, čto Pravdy večnoj,
Čto Sveta mrak ne odolel!

Da znaet mir, čto den' nastanet:
Voskresnet radostno vostok -
I v ėtu t'mu vsesil'no grjanet
Lučej živitel'nyj potok!..
