Ochi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Chto s prelest`yu ee ochej
V podlunnom mire sem sravnitsya ?
V nebesnom vzore ix, mne mnitsya, 
Zryu svet bozhestvenny'x luchej.
Kogda ne zryu ee ochej,
Nezhnejshej strasti vy'razhen`ya,
Drugogo v zhizni naslazhden`ya
Ne naxozhu dushe moej.

Kogda ne zryu ee ochej,
Toska i grust` moj dux terzayut,
I skorb` moyu lish` uslazhdaet 
Izlity'j gor`kix slez ruchej.
Nichto ne zamenit ochej
Tvoix, Alina nesravnenna!
Dusha ix vzorom  upoenna, 
Blazhenna uchast`yu svoejyu.

Kogda lishus` tvoix ochej,
Dushi moej ocharovan`ya,
Ee lyubimogo mechtan`ya
V chasy' tainstvenny'x nochej,
Moix ischeznet radost` dnej,
V pusty'nyu mir ves` prevratitsya,
I dux moj budet vek tomit`sya
Bez angel`skix tvoix ochej.
