Ветер перелётный обласкал меня

Ветер перелётный обласкал меня
И шепнул печально: «Ночь сильнее дня».
И закат померкнул. Тучи почернели.
Дрогнули, смутились пасмурные ели.
И над тёмным морем, где крутился вал,
Ветер перелётный зыбью пробежал.
Ночь царила в мире. А меж тем далёко,
За́ морем зажглося огненное око.
Новый распустился в небесах цветок,
Светом возрождённым заблистал Восток.
Ветер изменился, и пахнул мне в очи,
И шепнул с усмешкой: «День сильнее ночи».

The migratory wind caressed me
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
The migratory wind caressed me
And whispered sadly: “Night is stronger than day.”
And the sunset faded. The clouds blackened.
The sullen firs shivered and became confused
And upon the dark sea, where the shaft was whirling,
The migratory wind ran about with a surge.
Night reigned in the world. But meanwhile, distant,
A fiery eye lit up beyond the sea.
A flower blossomed anew in the sky,
The east shone with light reborn.
The wind changed, and its fragrance welled up in my eyes,
And it whispered with a grin: “Day is stronger than night!”
