sometimes misattributed to Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893) and by V. Kursky

Ночь
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Тихо... Все полночной мглою 
Очарованное спит;
Только сердцу нет покая,
Только в нём лишь жизнь кипит.

Чудно! Ночь сама как счастье...
Даже трели соловья 
Дышут правдою безстрастья,
Дышут миром, мир тая.

Даже мертвые каменья, 
Что травою поросли,
Будто знают наслажденье 
В этом сне глухой земли!

Чудно! В сладких грезах тонет 
Жизнь природы... А в груди 
То прошепчет, то простонет:
Утра свет! скорей, скорей приди!
