Mother of God, here I stand now praying Before this icon of your radiant brightness; Not praying to be saved from a battlefield, Not giving thanks, nor seeking forgiveness For the sins of my soul, nor for all the souls Numb, joyless and desolate on earth; But for her alone, whom I wholly give you. Mikhail Lermontov
