by Pyotr Andreyevich Vyazemsky (1792 - 1878)

Chto moj svetik, luna
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Chto, moj svetik, luna,
Chto zh ty vse tak odna –
Odinjoshen'ka,
Pod parchoju v vence,
No s razdum'em v lice
I blednjoshen'ka.

Ty nevestoj gljadish',
No pod bleskom taish'
Skorb' zavetnuju;
Slovno strogij otec
Snarjadil pod venec
Bezotvetnuju.

Grusten put' pred toboj,
Put' v stepi goluboj
Bez serdechnogo!
Stol'ko khodish' ty let,
A poputchika net,
I net vstrechnogo.

Dlja chego po puti
K nam tebe ne sojti
Zvezdnoj lestnicej,
Poguljat' po rose,
Pokazat'sja v krase
Rajskoj vestnicej.

My by gore tvoje,
Bedovoje zhit'e
Porassejali,
My b tebja vsej dushoj
S sladostrastnoj toskoj
Prilelejali.

V nashu zyb' zerkala
Posmotris', kak mila,
Nenagljadnaja.
V temnyj les zaverni,
Ulybnetsja v teni
Glad' prokhladnaja.

Slushaj - v chashche vetvej
Molodoj solovej
V tem' polnochnuju,
Krotkij svet tvoj ljubja,
Vse pojet pro tebja
Pesn' roskoshnuju.
