Ещё в полях белеет снег, А воды уж весной шумят -- Бегут и будят сонный брег, Бегут, и блещут, и гласят... Они гласят во все концы: «Весна идёт, весна идёт! Мы молодой весны гонцы, Она нас выслала вперёд. Весна идёт, весна [идёт,]1 И тихих, тёплых майских дней Румяный, светлый хоровод Толпится весело за [ней!...»]2
Neuf Mélodies pour Chant et Piano , opus 15

1. Ondes printanières [sung text not yet checked]
Language: French (Français)
La neige [encor blanchit nos]1 champs, Mais le ruisseau déjà murmure, Et l'on entend au loin les chants : C'est le réveil de la nature ! De nous s'approche le printemps. Salut, printemps ! Salut, printemps ! Nous sommes ses joyeux courriers, Et nous disons par les sentiers : Salut, printemps ! Voici les jours de feux ardents, Où bondit la ronde joyeuse, Où la jeunesse insoucieuse Chante et fête le printemps ! Salut, printemps !

2. Ja zhdu tebja v tishi ujedinen'ja [sung text not yet checked]
Language: Russian (Русский)
Я жду тебя в тиши уединенья, В моём [саду, средь сумрака]1 ветвей, Где вечный друг тоски и вдохновенья Всю ночь звенить и стонет соловей. Я жду тебя из-за туманной дали [Разбитых грёз и побежденных]2 лет, Где как луна, сквозь облако печали, Моей весны сияет тихий свет... [Безмолвных]3 звезд таинственней мерцанье Не дышет сад и замер соловей... Слышней души безумное рыданье... Я жду тебя... о, приходи скорей!...

Language: German (Deutsch)
Ein schöner Stern geht auf in meiner Nacht, Ein Stern, der süßen Trost herniederlacht Und neues Leben mir verspricht -- O, lüge nicht! Gleichwie das Meer dem Mond entgegenschwillt, So flutet meine Seele, froh und wild, Empor zu deinem holden Licht -- O, lüge nicht!
