Torguja sovest'ju pred blednoj niščetoju
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Torguja sovest'ju pred blednoj niščetoju,
Ne syp' svoich darov rasčëtlivoj rukoju:
Ščedrota polnaja ugodna nebesam.
V den' groznogo suda, podobno nive tučnoj,
‎    O sejatel' blagopolučnyj!
Storiceju vozdast ona tvoim trudam.

No esli, požalev trudov zemnych stjažan'ja,
Vručaja niščemu skupoe podajan'e,
Sžimaeš' ty svoju zavistlivuju dlan', —
Znaj: vse tvoi dary, podobno gorsti pyl'noj,
‎    Čto s kamnja moet dožd' obil'nyj,
Isčeznut — gospodom otveržennaja dan'.
