by Aleksey Nikolayevich Pleshcheyev (1825 - 1893)

Ночь пролетала над миром
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ночь пролетала над миром,
  Сны на людей навевая;
С темно-лазуревой ризы 
  Сыпались звезды, сверкая.

Старые мощные дубы,
  Вечнозеленые ели
[Грустные ивы]1 листвою 
  Ночи навстречу шумели.

[Радостно волны]2 журчали, 
  Образ её отражая;
[Рож наклонялась,]1 сильнее
  Пахла трава луговая.

[Крики кузнечиков резвых]1
  И соловьиные [трели]3,
В хоре хвалебном сливаясь,
  В воздухе тихо звенели,

И улыбалася кротко
  Ночь, над землей пролетая ...
С темно-лазуревой ризы
  Сыпались звезды, сверкая...
