by Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893)

Molitva
Language: Russian (Русский) 
O bozhe moj, vosstanovi
Moj padshij dukh, moj dukh unylyj;
Ja zhazhdu very i ljubvi,
Dlja novykh bitv ja zhazhdu sily.

Zapugan mrakom nochi ja,
I v nem ja oshchup'ju bluzhdaju;
Ishchu v svetil'nik svoj ognja,
No gde obrest' jego, ne znaju.

V iznemozhen'ja skorbnyj chas
Prostri spasitel'nye ruki,
Da upadet zavesa s glaz,
Da proch' idut somnen'ja muki.

Vnezapnym svetom ozaren,
Ot lzhi moj um da otreshitsja
I vmeste s serdcem da stremitsja
Postignut' istiny zakon.

Uslysh', o bozhe, golos moj!
Da vozljubiv vsem serdcem brata,
Vo t'me zaterjannoj tropoj
Pojdu ja vnov' – i bez vozvrata!
