Возлюбихъ брэга понтийскiя,
                                                 Сладокъ говоръ, нежный взглядъ,
                                                 Возвышэнный чувствъ обрядъ,
                                                 Разны игрища витийскiя,

                                                 Красны чары византийскiя,
                                                 Дэвъ изысканный нарядъ.
                                                 Возлюбихъ брэга понтийскiя,
                                                 Сладокъ говоръ, нежный взглядъ.

                                                 Любы песни мне дорийскiя,
                                                 Где несть тьмы, далэчэ адъ,
                                                 Речи сладкiя царятъ,
                                                 Вся забавы мусикийскiя.

                                                 Возлюбихъ брэга понтийскiя.
