by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Ночь в горах Шотландии
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Спишь ли ты, брат мой?
Уж ночь остыла;
В холодный,
Серебряный блеск 
Потонули вершины
Громадных 
Синеющих гор.
И тихо, и ясно, 
И слышно, как с гулом
Катится в бездну
Оторванный камень.
И видно, как ходит
Под облаками
На отдалённом
Голом утёсе 
Дикий козлёнок.
Спишь ли ты, брат мой?
Гуще и гуще 
Становится цвет полуночного неба,
Ярче и ярче 
Горят планеты.
Грозно 
Сверкает во мраке 
Меч Ориона.
Встань, брат!
Из замка 
Невидимой лютни 
Воздушное пенье 
Принёс и унёс свежий ветер.
Встань, брат! 
Ответный, 
Пронзительно-резкий 
Звук медного рога
Трижды в горах раздавался,
И трижды 
Орлы просыпались на гнёздах.
