Language: Russian (Русский)
Our translations: ENG
Мечты, мечты! Где ваша сладость? Где ты, где ты, Ночная радость? Исчезнул он, Веселый сон, И одинокой Во тьме глубокой Я пробуждён! Кругом постели Немая ночь; вмиг охладели, Вмиг улетели Толпою прочь Любви мечтанья: Ещё полна Душа желанья И ловит сна Воспоминанья. Любовь, любовь, Внемли моленья: Пошли мне вновь Свои виденья, И поутру, Вновь упоенный, Пускай умру, Не пробужденный.

Das Erwachen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
O Traum, wo blieb dein holdes Treiben? O Nacht der Lieb', was stört dein Bleiben? Es wird zu Schaum mein froher Traum, lässt mich voll Jammer in dunkler Kammer, erwach' ich kaum. Rundum im Kreise herrscht Nacht und Graus. Erstarrt zu Eise zieht flücht'ger Weise der Schwarm hinaus von Traumgestalten. Der Seele Raum füllt Sehnsuchtswalten, sie sucht den Traum noch festzuhalten. O Lieb, o Lieb, ich flehe: Säume! aufs Neue gib mir holde Träume, ums Morgenrot aufs Neu' umfache mich, bis ich tot und nicht erwache.
