Na son grjadushchij

Nochnaja t'ma bezmolvije prinosit
I k otdykhu zovjot menja.
Pora, pora! pokoja telo prosit,
Dusha ustala v vikhre dnja.

Molju tebja, pred snom grjadushchim, bozhe:
Daj ljudjam mir; blagoslovi 
Mladenca son, i nishchenskoje lozhe,
I sljozy tikhije ljubvi!

Prosti grekhu, na zhgucheje stradan'je
Uspokojitel'no dokhni,
I vse tvoji pechal'nyje sozdan'ja
Khot' snoviden'jem obmani!
