Я долго стоял неподвижно,
В далёкие звёзды вглядясь, —
Меж теми звездами и мною
Какая-то связь родилась.
Я думал… не помню, что думал;
Я слушал таинственный хор,
И звёзды тихонько дрожали,
И звёзды люблю я с тех пор…

For a long time I stood unmoving,
Looking up at the distant stars;
Between those stars and me
A kind of connection was born.
I thought... I don't remember what I thought...
I listened to the mysterious chorus,
The stars trembling softly,
And I have loved the stars ever since!
