Our translations: ENG
Хоругвь священную подяв своей десной, Иду. И тронулась за мной толпа живая, И потянулись все по просеке лесной, И я блажен и горд, святыню воспевая. Пою и помыслам неведом детский страх: Пускай на пенье мне ответят воем звери, С святыней над челом, и песнью на устах, С трудом, но я дойду до вожделенной двери.
