by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Ты знал его
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ты зрел его в кругу большего света -
То своенравно-весел, то угрюм,
Разсеян, дик иль полон тайных дум,
Таков поэт и ты презрел поэта!

На месяц взглянь: весь день, как облак тощий,
Он в небесах едва не изнемог;
Настала ночь, и светозарный бог, 
Сияет он, над усыпленной рощей!
