by Aleksey Stepanovich Khomyakov (1804 - 1860)

Заря
Language: Russian (Русский) 
В воздушных высотах меж ночию и днём
Тебя поставил бог, как вечную границу.
Тебя облек он пурпурным огнём,
Тебе он дал в соопутницы денницу.
Когда ты в небе голубом
Сияешь, тихо догорая,
Я мыслю, на тебя взирая:
Заря, тебе подобны мы.
Смешенье пламени и хлада,
Смешение небес и ада,
Сияние лучей и тьмы.
