Velikaja tajna
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Tuči nosjat vodu,
Voda poit zemlju,
Zemlja plod prinosit;
Bezdna zvëzd na nebe,
Bezdna žizni v mire;
To mračna, to svetla
Čudnaja priroda…

Starejas' v somnen'jach
O velikich tajnach,
Idut nevozvratno
Veki za vekami;
U každogo veka
Večnost' voprošaet:
«Čem končilos' delo?» —
«Voprosi drugova», —
Každyj otvečaet.

Smelyj um s mol'boju
Mčitsja k Providen'ju.
Ty povedaj mysljam
Tajnu sich sozdanij!
Šljut otvet, vnov' tajnyj,
Čudesa prirody,
Tišinoj i burej
Mysli izumljaja…

Čto že soveršitsja
V buduščem s prirodoj?..
O, gori, lampada,
Jarče pred Raspjat'em!
Tjažely mne dumy,
Sladostna molitva!
