I moja zvjozdochka

More vojot, more stonet,
I vo mrake, odinok,
Pogloshen volnoju, tonet
Moj zanoschivyj chelnok. 

No, schastlivec, pred soboju
Vizhu zvjozdochku moju -
I pokojen ja dushoju,
I bespechno ja poju:

,,Molodaja, zolotaja
Predveshatel'nica dnja,
Pri tebe beda zemnaja
Nedostupna do menja. 

No sokroj za burnoj mgloju
Ty sijanie svojo -
I sokrojetsja s toboju
Providenie mojo!``

Der Schiffer

Rauscht die See im Sturme springend,
auf dem weiten Ozean
einsam mit den Wogen ringend
unterliegt mein schwanker Kahn.
 
Aber Heil! zum Himmel schauend
seh' ich wie mein Sternlein blinkt,
und dem milden Glanze trauend
sing' ich froh und Muth beschwingt.
 
Herold heitrer Tageshelle,
goldner, Jugend schöner Stern,
Unheil bleibet auf der Welle,
wenn du strahlest, von mir fern.
 
Doch wenn deines Lichtes Milde
mir verhüllt der Wolken Heer,
Schwendet mir mit deinem Bilde,
mein Geleit auf weitem Meer.
