Vechnyj prijut

Language: Russian

Bogi, Bogi moi!
Kak grustna vechernjaja zemlja!
Kak tainstvenny tumany nad bolotami!
Kto bluzhdal v `etikh tumanakh,
Kto mnogo stradal pered smert'ju,
Kto letel nad `etoj zemljoj,
Nesja na sebe neposil'nyj gruz,
Tot `eto znajet. 
 
Bogi, Bogi moi!
Kak grustna vechernjaja zemlja!
`Eto znajet ustavshij.
I on bez sozhalenija
Pokidajet tumany zemli,
Jejo bolotca i reki,
On otdajotsja s ljogkim serdcem
V ruki smerti, 
[Requiem ajeterna dona eis, Domine…]1
[On otdajotsja s ljogkim serdcem
V ruki smerti,]2
Znaja, chto tol'ko ona odna
Uspokoit jego.
