by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Nenastnyj den' potukh
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Nenastnyj den' potukh; nenastnoj nochi mgla
Po nebu steletsja odezhdoju svincovoj;
Kak prividenije, za roshcheju sosnovoj
Luna tumannaja vzoshla...
Vsjo mrachnuju tosku na dushu mne navodit.
Daleko, tam, luna v sijanii voskhodit;
Tam vozdukh napojen vechernej [teplotoj]1;
Tam more dvizhetsja roskoshnoj pelenoj
Pod golubymi nebesami...
Vot vremja: po gore teper' idet ona
K bregam, potoplennym shumjashchimi volnami;
Tam, pod zabetnymi skalami,
Teper' ona sidit pechal'na i odna...
Odna... Nikto pred nej ne plachet, ne toskujet;
Nikto jejo [kolen]2 v zabven'e ne celujet...
[Odna, nikh im ustam ona ne predajot
Ni plech, ni vlazhnykh ust, ni persej belosnezhykh]3
Nikto jejo ljubvi nebesnoj ne dostoin.
Ne pravda l': ty odna... ty plachesh'... ja spokojen...
No jesli...
