The early death of Dimcho Debelyanov (killed on October 2, 1916 near Demir Hisar during the First World War) is not a barrier to his not having a clear vision for poetry. Frost scorches the youth of our elegiac poet, but the voice of this youth - both intimate and sincere, both inconsolable and ecstatic - we hear in his songs. The star of this poet - an angel expelled from heaven, rises in the poetic firmament with great brilliance. This star shines even now above his forehead, above us, and above all those who love poetry and cannot live without it.

"The Alphabetical Prayer has given rise to quite lively debates in science, and yet some questions closely related to it remain open, not yet resolved. A natural prerequisite for such advancement of the issue is the presentation and publication of more materials related to the work of Konstantin Preslavsky and, above all, directly related to this remarkable work of our old literature. The primary task is not only to search for previously unknown transcripts of the "Alphabetic Prayer", but also to publish them, since the previous publications are few. And this is all the more possible for a composition like the "Alphabetic Prayer" - very short in size. Such is the purpose of the present communication - to make another previously unknown transcript of one of the first poems in old Bulgarian literature known to science.
