by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

На алмазном покрове снегов
Language: Russian (Русский) 
На алмазном покрове снегов,
‎Под холодным сияньем Луны,
Хорошо нам с тобой! Без улыбки, без слов,
Обитатели призрачной светлой страны,
Погрузились мы в море загадочных снов,
‎В царстве бледной Луны.

Как отрадно в глубокий полуночный час
На мгновенье все скорби по-детски забыть,
И, забыв, что любовь невозможна для нас,
‎Как отрадно мечтать и любить,
‎Без улыбки, без слов,
‎Средь ночной тишины,
‎В царстве чистых снегов,
‎В царстве бледной Луны.
