by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)

O, Bozhe, kak khorosh prokhladnyj vecher leta
Language: Russian (Русский) 
O, Bozhe, kak khorosh prokhladnyj vecher leta,
    Kakaja tishina!
Vsju  noch' ja prosidet' gotov by do rassveta
    U  `etogo okna.
Kakoj-to temnyj lik mel'kajet po alleje,
    I vozdukh nedvizhim,
I kazhetsja, chto tam jeshche, jeshche temneje
    Za sadom molodym.
Uzh pozdno... Vse sil'nej cvetov blagoukhan'e,
    Sejchas vzojdet luna...
Na nebesakh pokoj, i na zemle molchan'e,
    I  vsjudu tishina.
Davno li v `etot sad v chudesnyj vecher maja
    Vkhodili  my vdvojem?
O, skol'ko, skol'ko raz jego my, ne smolkaja,
    Byvalo,  obojdem!
I vot ja zdes' odin, s izmuchennoj, ustaloj,
    Razbitoju  dushoj.
Mne khochetsja rydat', pripavshi, kak byvalo,
    K  grudi tvojej rodnoj...
Ja zhdu... no ne slykhat' znakomogo priveta,
    Dusha  bolit odna...
O, Bozhe, kak khorosh prokhladnyj  vecher leta,
    Kakaja tishina!
