Kak nežiš' ty, serebrjanaja noč'
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kak nežiš' ty, serebrjanaja noč', V duše rascvet nemoj i tajnoj sily! O! okryli i daj mne prevozmoč' Ves' ėtot tlen, bezdušnyj i unylyj. Kakaja noč'! almaznaja rosa Živym ognëm s ognjami neba v spore. Kak okean, razverzlis' nebesa, I spit zemlja i teplitsja, kak more. Moj duch, o noč'! kak padšij serafim, Priznal rodstvo s netlennoj žizn'ju zvezdnoj, I, okrylën dychaniem tvoim, Gotov letet' nad ėtoj tajnoj bezdnoj.
