by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Есть много звуков
 (Sung text for setting by S. Rachmaninov)
 Matches original text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Есть много звуков в сердца глубине,
Неясных дум, непетых песней много;
Но заглушает вечно их во мне
Забот немолчных скучная тревога.

Тяжёл её непрошеный напор,
Издавна сердце с жизнию боролось —
Но жизнь шумит, как вихорь ломит бор,
Как ропот струй, так шепчет сердца голос!
