by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)
Redeet oblakov letuchaya gryada
Language: Russian (Русский)
Redeet oblakov letuchaya gryada. Zvezda pechal`naya, vechernyaya zvezda! Tvoj luch oserebril uvyadshie ravniny', I dremlyushhij zaliv, i chyorny'x skal vershiny'. Lyublyu tvoj slaby'j svet v nebesnoj vy'shine; On dumy' razbudil, usnuvshie vo mne: YA pomnyu tvoj vosxod, znakomoe svetilo, Nad mirnoyu stranoj, gde vsyo dlya serdcza milo, Gde strojny' topoly' v dolinax vozneslis`, Gde dremlet nezhny'j mirt i tyomny'j kiparis, I sladostno shumyat poludenny'e volny'. Tam nekogda v gorax, serdechnoj dumy' polny'j, Nad morem ya vlachil zadumchivuyu len`, Kogda na xizhiny' sxodila nochi ten` — I deva yunaya vo mgle tebya iskala I imenem svoim podrugam nazy'vala.
