U vrat obiteli svjatoj

U vrat obiteli svjatoj
Stojal prosjashchij podajan'ja,
[Bednjak issokhshij, chut' zhivoj]1
Ot glada, zhazhdy i stradan'ja.

Kuska lish' khleba on prosil,
I vzor javljal zhivuju muku,
I kto-to kamen' polozhil
V jego protjanutuju ruku.

Tak ja molil tvojej ljubvi
S slezami gor'kimi, s toskoju;
Tak chuvstva luchshie moji
[Obmanuty navek]2 toboju!
