Альпы
 (Sung text for setting by S. Taneyev)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Сквозь лазурный сумрак ночи
Альпы снежные глядят;
Помертвелые их очи
Льдистым ужасом разят.
Властью некой обаянны,
До восшествия Зари,
Дремлют, грозны и туманны,
Словно падшие цари!..

Но Восток лишь заалеет,
Чарам гибельным конец —
Первый в небе просветлеет
Брата старшего венец.
И с главы большого брата
На меньших бежит струя,
И блестит в венцах из злата
Вся воскресшая Семья!..

Confirmed with Ф. И. Тютчев, Полное собрание сочинений и писем в шести томах, М.: Издательский центр «Классика», 2002, Т. 1., Стихотворения, 1813—1849, page 129.
