“Гришка-Вор тебя не ополячил,
Петр-Царь тебя не онемечил.
Что же делаешь, голубка? — Плачу.
Где же спесь твоя, Москва? — Далече.
— Голубочки где твои? — Нет корму.
— Кто унес его? — Да ворон черный.
— Где кресты твои святые? — Сбиты.
— Где сыны твои, Москва? — Убиты.
10 декабря 1917
Felon Grishka could not polonize you,
and Tsar Peter could not germanize you.
What are you about, my fairest? - Weeping.
Moscow, where's that ancient pride? - Far sleeping.
- Where are all your doves? - No food to save them.
- Who made off with it? - The coal-black raven.
- And your holy crosses? - Ripped asunder.
- Moscow, and your sons? - Slain in their hundreds.”
