Не здесь ли ты лёгкою тенью,
Мой гений, мой ангел, мой друг,
Беседуешь тихо со мною
И тихо летаешь вокруг?

И робким даришь вдохновеньем,
И сладкий крачуешь недуг,
И тихим даришь сновиденьем,
Мой гений, мой ангел, мой друг!

Mein Schutzgeist, mein Engel, mein Lieb
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Umschwebst du nicht leise als Schatten,
mein gütiger Engel, mich hier
und tröstest den Müden, den Matten,
und redest kaum hörbar mit mir?

Du weckst in beglückenden Stunden
des Schaffens oft zaghaften Trieb,
du heilst meine blutenden Wunden,
mein Schutzgeist, mein Engel, mein Lieb!

From a Tchaikovsky score.
