by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

K snu
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Znakomec milyj i starinnyj,
O son, chranitel' dobryj moj!
Gde ty? Pod krovleju pustynnoj
Mne lože stelet už pokoj
V bezmolvnoj tišine nočnoj.
Pridi, zaduj moju lampadu,
Moi mečty blagoslovi,
Do utra tol'ko daj otradu
Moej mučitel'noj ljubvi.
Sokroj ot pamjati unyloj
Razluki grustnyj prigovor,
Puskaj uvižu milyj vzor,
Puskaj uslyšu golos milyj.
Kogda ž umčitsja noči mgla,
I ty moi pokineš' oči, —
O, esli by duša mogla
Zabyt' ljubov' do novoj noči.
