Комнату лампада Кротко озаряла. Мать, над колыбелью Наклонясь, стояла. А в саду сердито Выла буря злая, Над окном деревья Темные качая. Дождь шумел, раскаты Слышалися грома; И гремел, казалось, Он над крышей дома. На малютку-сына Нежно мать глядела; Колыбель качая, Тихо песню пела: «[Да]1 уймись ты, буря! Не шумите, ели! Мой малютка дремлет Сладко в колыбели! Ты, гроза Господня, Не буди ребёнка! Пронеситесь, тучи Черные, сторонкой.» Бурь ещё не мало Впереди, быть-может, И не раз забота Сон его встревожит. Спи, дитя, спокойно! Вот гроза стихает, Матери молитва Сон твой охраняет. Завтра, как проснёшься И откроешь глазки, Снова встретишь солнце, И любовь, и ласки.

In a little room, a lamp Dimly cast its light. A mother, over the cradle leaning, stood watch. But in the garden, angrily Raged a fierce storm, Above the window, trees Darkly rocking. Rain beat down noisily, claps Were heard of thunder; And they exploded, seemingly, Right above the roof of the house. Over her little son, Tenderly the mother kept watch; Rocking the cradle, Quietly she sang this song: «[Yes]1 calm yourself, tempest! Don’t fuss, fir trees! My little one is napping Sweetly in his cradle! You, the voice from God on high, Don’t wake the baby! Pass by, clouds Of black, go on your way.» More storms, and not a few, May be ahead for him, perhaps, And more than once, worry Will disturb his slumber. Sleep, child, quietly! This storm is passing, Mother’s prayer Protects your slumber. Tomorrow, when you wake And open your little eyes, Once again you’ll welcome the sun, And love, and my caress.
