Uteshenie
Language: Russian (Русский)
Svetit mesyacz; na kladbishhe deva v chyornoj vlasyanice odinokaya stoit, i sleza lyubvi drozhit na gustoj eyo resnice. Net ego, na tom on svete; serdczu my'sl` o nyom uteshna: on dostalsya nebesam. budet chisty'j angel tam - i lyubov` moya bezgreshna. Skorb` eyo k svyatomu liku bogomateri podvodit. On stoit v ogne luchej, i na devu iz ochej milost` tixaya nisxodit. Pala deva pred ikonoj i bezmolvno upovan`ya ot prechisty'ya zhdala... i dushoyu pereshla neprimetno v mir svidan`ya.
