by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Смеркалось; жаркий день
 (Sung text for setting by S. Rachmaninov)

Жаркий день бледнел неуловимо.
Над озером туман тянулся полосой,
И кроткий образ твой, знакомый и любимый,
В вечерний тихий час носился предо мной.

Улыбка та ж была, которую люблю я,
И мягкая коса, как прежде, расплелась,
И очи грустные, по-прежнему тоскуя,
Глядели на меня в вечерний тихий час.
