Sonne, weinest jeden Abend Dir die schönen Augen rot, Wenn im Meeresspiegel badend Dich erreicht der frühe Tod; Doch erstehst in alter Pracht, Glorie der düstren Welt, Du am Morgen neu erwacht, Wie ein stolzer Siegesheld! Ach, wie sollte ich da klagen, Wie, mein Herz, so schwer dich sehn, Muß die Sonne selbst verzagen, Muß die Sonne untergehn? Und gebieret Tod nur Leben, Geben Schmerzen Wonne nur: O wie dank ich, daß gegeben Solche Schmerzen mir Natur!

Solnce, slyozy' prolivaesh`, Ochi krasny' kazhdy'j raz, Kak v glad` morya pogruzhayas` Tvoj vershitsya smertny'j chas; No vosstanesh` k zhizni vnov`, Blesk sred` e`tix brenny'x bed, Ty' poutru budish` krov`, Kak gerojskij klich pobed! Ax, chego zh mne duxom padat`, Xot` v grudi toska gnetyot, Esli solnczu dazhe plakat`, Esli solnce gibel` zhdyot. Kol` rozhdaet smert` lish` zhizni, Daryat muki radost` lish`: O, spasibo, zhizn`, chto ny'ne E`ti muki mne sulish`!
