by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Noch`
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V chugun pechal`ny'j storozh b`yot,
Odin ya vnemlyu. Gluxo layut
Vdali sobaki. Mrachen svod
Nebes, i tuchi probegayut
Odna bezmolvno za drugoj,
Slivayas` pod nochnoyu mgloj.
Koleblet veter vlazhny'j, dushny'j
Verxi derev, i s voem on
Stuchit v okonnicy'. Mne skuchno,
Mne tyazhko bden`e, strashen son,
YA ne xochu, chtob snoviden`e
Yavlyalo mne eyo cherty', —
Net, ya ne rab moej mechty',
YA v silax perenest` muchen`e
Glubokix dum, serdechny'x ran,
Vsyo — tol`ko ne eyo obman.
YA ne skazhu «prosti» nadezhde,
Molve ne veryu; esli prezhde
Ona mogla menya lyubit`,
To ej li mozhno izmenit`?
No otchego zhe? Razve netu
Primerov, pervy'j li urok
Vo mne teper` dayotsya svetu?
Kak ya zaby't, kak odinok.
‹Shumi›, shumi zhe, veter nochi,
Igraj svobodno v nebesax
I osvezhi mne grud` i ochi.
V grudi ogon`, sleza v ochax,
Davno bez pishhi e`tot plamen`,
I slyozy' padayut na kamen`.
