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...

J'étais venu, tu sais, au rendez-vous. Le soir survint ; Et tout faisait silence, Les arbres sans frissons et calmes, les mouettes : Vain rêve ! ... Puis la lune brillante tout à coup.
