by Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov, Grand Duke of Russia (1858 - 1915)
Rastvoril ja okno
Language: Russian (Русский)
Rastvoril ja okno - stalo [grustno]1 ne v moch', -
opustilsja pred nim na koleni,
i v lico mne pakhnula vesennjaja noch'
blagovonnym dykhan'em sireni.
A vdali gde-to chudno [tak pel]2 solovej;
ja vnimal jemu s grust'ju glubokoj...
I s toskoju o rodine vspomnil svojej;
ob otchizne ja vspomnil dalekoj,
Gde rodnoj solovej pesn' rodnuju pojot
i, ne znaja zemnykh ogorchenij,
zalivajetsja celuju noch' naproljot
nad dushistoju vetkoj sireni...
