by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Silentium
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Molchi, skryvajsja i tai
I chuvstva i mechty svoi —
Puskaj v dushevnoj glubine
Vstajut i zakhodjat one
Bezmolvno, kak zvezdy v nochi, —
Ljubujsja imi — i molchi.

Kak serdcu vyskazat' sebja?
Drugomu kak ponjat' tebja?
Pojmjot li on, chem ty zhivjosh'?
Mysl' izrechénnaja jest' lozh'.
Vzryvaja, vozmutish' kljuchi, —
Pitajsja imi — i molchi.

Lish' zhit' v sebe samom umej —
Jest' celyj mir v dushe tvojej
Tainstvenno-volshebnykh dum;
Ikh oglushit naruzhnyj shum,
Dnevnye razgonjat luchi, —
Vnimaj ikh pen'ju — i molchi!..
