Dolina Iosafata
Language: Russian (Русский)
Otrada smerti stražduščim dana. Vy pobeleli, stranniki, ot pyli, Sredi vragov, v čužich krajach vy byli. No vot vam otdych, mir i tišina. Gora poldnevnym solncem sožžena, Ruslo Kedrona vetry issušili. No v prach otcov vy posochi složili, Vas obrela rodimaja strana. V nej spjat cari, proroki i levity. V blažennye obiteli eja Vsech, čto v čužbine ne byli ubity, Sbiraet miloserdyj Sudija. Po žestkim sklonam kamennye plity Stojat raskrytoj Knigoj Bytija.
