Apollon Aleksandrovich Grigoryev. (№ 311118)

Blessing be upon thee,
Protective cover of the saints of the heavenly powers,
Stay forever that pure star,
Which the beam I the darkness of the soul lit.
I was already aware of the veracity of the sentence,
Uttered a punishing fate
Over a stormy life, not devoid of reproach, -
Rightly under the sword bowed his head.
Reasonable strict court, and screams are useless,
I'm old as sin, and you, as a happy, young,
I've passed all the corruption of the abyss
And you have light, and your life is clean.
