by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Molchali list'ja, zvjozdy rdeli
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Molchali list'ja, zvjozdy rdeli.
     I v `etot chas
S toboj na zvezdy my gljadeli,
     Oni - na nas.

Kogda vsjo nebo tak gljaditsja
    V zhivuju grud',
Kak v `etoj grudi zataitsja
    Khot' chto-nibud'?

Vsjo, chto khranit i budit silu
    Vo vsem zhivom,
Vsjo, chto unositsja v mogilu
    Ot vsekh tajkom,

Chto chishche zvezd, puglivej nochi,
     Strashneje t'my,
Togda, vzgljanuv drug drugu v ochi,
     Skazali my.
