Ty konchil put' zemnoj i pereshel v tot kraj,
Gde ni bolezni net, ni slez, ni vozdykhan'ja;
No beznadezhnoje ja ne tverzhu: proshchaj,
[I]1 zhdu bez gorechi zagrobnago svidan'ja.
Nas prigovor sud'by s toboj ne razluchil,
Ot vzora tlennago ischez lish' obraz tlennyj,
No tvoj bezsmertnyj dukh, glagol tvoj vdokhnovennyj,
Vse, chem ty dorog tak i slaven v ljudjakh byl,
Vse, chto k tebe vleklo rodnym dlja vsekh privetom —
I zhivo, i zvuchit, i bleshchet vechnym svetom!
