Где ты, прелестный край
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Где ты, прелестный край, родимая страна?
Там быстро протекли младенческие годы!
Как небо чистое, там жизнь была ясна,
И я тогда не знал ни бурь, ни непогоды.
Куда сокрылись вы, прелестные мечты,
Минуты лучшие сердечной простоты!
Ещё я не забыл последнее мгновенье,
Когда в тоске немой с слезами на очах
Мне дал отец родной свое благословенье
И счастья мне желал в неведомых краях.
