by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

Moleben
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Cholodno, golodno v našem selenii.
Utro pečal'noe — syrost', tuman,
Kolokol glucho gudit v otdalenii,
‎V cerkov' zovet prichožan.
Čto-to surovoe, strogoe, vlastnoe
‎Slyšitsja v zvone gluchom,
V cerkvi provel ja to utro nenastnoe —
‎I ne zabudu o nem.
Vsë naselenie, staro i molodo,
‎S plačem poklony kladet,
O prekraščenii ljutogo goloda
‎Molitsja žarko narod.
Redko ja v nem nastroenie strože
‎I sokrušennej vidal!
«Miluj narod i druzej ego, bože! —
‎Sam ja nevol'no šeptal. —
Vnemli molenie naše serdečnoe
‎O posluživšich emu…
Ob osuždennych v izgnanie večnoe,
O zatočennych v tjur'mu,
O preterpevšich bor'bu mnogoletnjuju
‎I ustojavšich v bor'be,
Slyšavšich rabskuju pesnju poslednjuju,
‎Molimsja, bože, tebe».
