В эту лунную ночь, в эту дивную ночь,
в этот миг благодатный свиданья,
о, мой друг, я не в силах любви превозмочь,
удержать я не в силах признанья!

В серебре чуть колышется озера гладь...
Наклонясь, зашепталися ивы...
Но бессильны слова! Как тебе передать
истомленного сердца порывы?

Ночь не ждёт, ночь летит... Закатилась луна...
заалело в таинственной дали..
Дорогая, прости! Снова жизни волна
нам несёт день тоски и печали!
