My thoughts arise and fade in solitude, The verse that would invest them melts away Like moonlight in the heaven of spreading day: How beautiful they were, how firm they stood, Flecking the starry sky like woven pearl!

Мечты в одиночестве вянут Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский) after the English
Мечты в одиночестве вянут и вновь расцветают. В созвучья хотел бы одеть их, созвучия тают. Как в блеске рассвета сиянье луны и меркнет, и гаснет, так нежные сны блеснут и, блеснув, улетают.
