Kol'co

Pechal'no na kol'co
Zavetnoje gljazhu
I moloje lico
Na pamjat' privozhu.

`El'vira, dav jego,
Skazala: ,,Vspominaj!
Ljubi i mojego
Kol'ca ne poterjaj!``

No izmenit' svojej
I kljatve ne mogu
I do poslednikh dnej
Kolechko sberegu.

V njom radost' vsja moja!
Kol' na nego gljazhu,
V njom budto chto-to ja
Rodnoje nakhozhu.
