by Nikolai Porfiryevich Grekov (1810 - 1866)

Bessonnicza
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na krovat` moyu v okoshko
Mesyacz pristal`no glyadit,
A nad nim v lazuri kroshka
Yarko zvezdochka gorit.
Mne ne spitsya, sna otrada
Ne v ladu s moej dushoj,
Na okne gorit lampada
U sosedki molodoj.

I s kosoyu raspletennoj,
S temno-rusoyu kosoj,
Pred lampadoyu zazhzhennoj
Mne vidna ona poroj.
Kto zh ona, moya sosedka?
Moloda l`, mila l` ona,
I zachem ona neredko
Noch` provodit vsyu bez sna?

Ne naznacheno l` svidan`e
V polunochnoj tishine,
Il` ej mesyacza siyan`e
Spat` meshaet, kak i mne,
I poroyu polnolun`ya
Moloduyu grud` u nej,
Kak moyu, mechta-shalun`ya
Vozdy'maet tyazhelej?
