by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Близ мест, где царствует Венеция златая
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Близ мест, где царствует Венеция златая,
Один, ночной гребец, гондолой управляя,
При свете Веспера по взморию плывёт,
Ринальда, Годфрида, Эрминию поёт.

Он любит песнь свою; поёт он для забавы,
Без дальних умыслов; не ведает ни славы,
Ни страха, ни надежд и, тихой музы полн,
Умеет услаждать свой путь над бездной волн.

На море жизненном, где бури так жестоко
Преследуют во мгле мой парус одинокий,
Как он, без отзыва, утешно я пою
И тайные стихи обдумывать люблю.
