by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

‎Vižu l' ja, kak vo chrame smirenno ona
Language: Russian (Русский) 
‎Vižu l' ja, kak vo chrame smirenno ona
Pered obrazom Devy, Caricy nebesnoj, stoit,—
‎Tak molit'sja liš' možet svjataja odna…
‎I bolit moë serdce, bolit!

‎Vižu l' ja, kak na bale sverkaet ona
Požirajuščim vzgljadom, gorjačim rumjancem lanit;
‎Tak nadmenno blestit liš' odin satana…
‎I bolit moë serdce, bolit!

‎I molju ja Vladyčicu Devu, skorbja:
Nispošli ej, Vladyčica Deva, ternovyj venok,
‎Čtob eë za stradan'ja, za slëzy, ljubja,
‎Ja eë nenavidet' ne mog.

‎I zovu ja k tebe, satana! ogluši,
Oslepi ty eë! podari ej blestjaščij venok…
‎Čtob eë nenavidja vsej siloj duši,
‎Ja ljubit' eë bol'še ne mog.
