by Daniil Maximovich Rathaus (1868 - 1937)

Sred` mrachny'x dnej
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE POL
Sred` mrachny'x dnej, pod gnetom bed,
iz mgly' tumannoj proshly'x let,
kak otblesk radostny'x luchej,
mne svetit vzor tvoix ochej.

Pod obayan`em svetly'x snov
mne mnitsya, ya s toboyu vnov`.
Pri svete dnya, v nochnoj tishi
delyus` vostorgami dushi.

YA vnov` s toboj! - moya pechal`
umchalas` v pasmurnuyu dal`...
I strastno vnov` xochu ya zhit` -
toboj dy'shat`, tebya lyubit`!
