Vechernij zvon

Vechernij zvon, vechernij zvon! 
Kak mnogo dum navodit on
O junykh dnjakh v kraju rodnom,
Gde ja ljubil, gde otchij dom,
I kak ja, s nim navek prostjas',
Tam [slushal]1 zvon v poslednij raz! 

Uzhe ne zret' mne svetlykh dnej
Vesny obmanchivoj mojej! 
I skol'ko net teper' v zhivykh
Togda veselykh, molodykh! 
I krepok ikh mogil'nyj son;
Ne slyshen im vechernij zvon. 

Lezhat' i mne v zemle syroj! 
Napev [unyvnyj]2 nado mnoj
V doline veter razneset;
Drugoj pevec po nej projdet,
I uzh ne ja, a budet on
V razdum'je pet' vechernij zvon!
