В тёмной [чаще]1 замолк соловей, прокатилась [звезда в синеве]2; месяц смотрит сквозь [сетку]3 ветвей, зажигает росу на траве. Дремлют розы. Прохлада плывет. Кто-то свистнул... Вет замер и свист Ухо слышит, едва, упадет Насекомым подточенный лист. Как при месяце кроток и тих у тебя милый очерк лица! Эту ночь, полный грез золотых я б продлил без конца, без конца!
N. Rimsky-Korsakov sets stanzas 1, 3

In the dark grove, the nightingale is silent, A star rolled across the sky; A crescent moon is peering through the branches And sparkles the dew upon the grass. [... ... ... ...] In the moonlight, how angelic and soft The silhouette of your dear face! Full of golden dreams, I wish this night To last forever, forever!
