Stixaet. Noch` temna. Svisti, chtob my' ne spali!.. 
Eshhe vcherashnyaya groza ne unyalas`: 
Te zh volny' burny'e, chto s vechera pleskali, 
Ne zakachav, eshhe kachayut nas. 

V bezlunnom mrake my' dorogu poteryali, 
Razbity'm fonarem ne osveshhen kompas. 
Nesi ognya! zvoni, svisti, chtob my' ne spali! - 
Eshhe vcherashnyaya groza ne unyalas`... 

Nash flag pory'visto i bespokojno veet; 
Nash kapitan vpot`max stoit, razdum`ya poln... 
Zarya!.. druz`ya, zarya! Glyadite, kak yasneet - 
I kapitan, i my', i grebni cherny'x voln. 

Kto bolen, kto ustal, kto bodr eshhe, kto plachet, 
Chto burej slomano, razbito, sneseno - 
Vse yasno: bozhij den`, vstavaya, zla ne pryachet... 
No - ne pogibli my'!.. i mnogo spaseno... 

My' machty' ukrepim, my' parusa podtyanem, 
My' nashim topotom vstrevozhim prazdny'x len` - 
I dal`she v put` pojdem, i druzhno pesnyu gryanem: 
Gospod`, blagoslovi gryadushhij den`!
