נָטֹף נָטְפָה הַדִּמְעָה – וַיִּפֹּל קַו-אוֹר וַיַּכֶּנָּה, צִנָּה הִכְּתָה לְבָבִי: עוֹד אַחַת מְעַט – וְדִמְעָתִי אֵינֶנָּה. וּבְחֹסֶר כֹּל אֵלֵךְ, וְצַר-לִי מְאֹד – הִיא דָלָלָה – וְאַף לֵב עָרֵל אֶחָד לֹא-נָקְבָה, אַף לֹא מִקְצָת שֵׁנָה גָּזָלָה. וְאָנָה אוֹלִיךְ אֶת-עָנְיִי, וַאֲנִי אָנָה בָא? עַל-מִשְׁכָּבִי אֶמְצֶה דִמְעָה עוֹד אַחַת, מַחֲצִיתָהּ לָכֶם וּמַחֲצִיתָהּ לִלְבָבִי. וְהָאוֹר אֵחַר לָבוֹא וְרָפֶה הָאוֹר מֵהַחֲיוֹתֵנִי; שֶׁמֶשׁ אַחַת בַּמָּרוֹם וְשִׁיר יָחִיד לַלֵּב וְאֵין שֵׁנִי.

Navernulas' sleza
Language: Russian (Русский) after the Hebrew (עברית)
Navernulas' sleza razdrobil eë svet zamercavšij stuža serdce mertvit i slezy moej net, kak almaz zaigravšej izošlo moë serdce slezoj i temno, kak mogila. O, sleza ta pronzila b chot' serdce odno i pokoja lišila! JA taju svoju skorb', zadychajas' v tiši i na lože po nočam ždu naprasno ja slëz iz duši, slëz tomlenija i droži svet mne pozdno blesnul moju dušu vesna ne razbudit solnce v nebe odno v serdce pesnja odna!
