by Vasily Andreyevich Zhukovsky (1783 - 1852)

Utešenie
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Svetit mesjac; na kladbišče deva
v čërnoj vlasjanice
odinokaja stoit,
i sleza ljubvi drožit
na gustoj eë resnice.

Net ego, na tom on svete;
serdcu mysl' o nëm utešna:
on dostalsja nebesam.
budet čistyj angel tam -
i ljubov' moja bezgrešna.

Skorb' eë k svjatomu liku
bogomateri podvodit.
On stoit v ogne lučej,
i na devu iz očej
milost' tichaja nischodit.

Pala deva pred ikonoj
i bezmolvno upovan'ja
ot prečistyja ždala...
i dušoju perešla
neprimetno v mir svidan'ja.
