by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Я в гроте ждал тебя в урочный час
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Я в гроте ждал тебя в урочный час, 
Но день померк; главой качаясь сонной,
Заснули тополи, умолкли гальционы: 
Напрасно!... Месяц встал, сребрился и угас;
Редела ночь; любовница Кефала,
Облокотясь на рдыаные врата
Младого дня, из кос своих роняла
Златые зерна перлов и опала
На синие долины и леса, --
Ты не являлась...
