by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Noch'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V chugun pechal'nyj storozh b'jot,
Odin ja vnemlju. Glukho lajut
Vdali sobaki. Mrachen svod
Nebes, i tuchi probegajut
Odna bezmolvno za drugoj,
Slivajas' pod nochnoju mgloj.
Koleblet veter vlazhnyj, dushnyj
Verkhi derev, i s vojem on
Stuchit v okonnicy. Mne skuchno,
Mne tjazhko bden'e, strashen son,
Ja ne khochu, chtob snoviden'e
Javljalo mne jejo cherty, —
Net, ja ne rab mojej mechty,
Ja v silakh perenest' muchen'e
Glubokikh dum, serdechnykh ran,
Vsjo — tol'ko ne jejo obman.
Ja ne skazhu «prosti» nadezhde,
Molve ne verju; jesli prezhde
Ona mogla menja ljubit',
To jej li mozhno izmenit'?
No otchego zhe? Razve netu
Primerov, pervyj li urok
Vo mne teper' dajotsja svetu?
Kak ja zabyt, kak odinok.
‹Shumi›, shumi zhe, veter nochi,
Igraj svobodno v nebesakh
I osvezhi mne grud' i ochi.
V grudi ogon', sleza v ochakh,
Davno bez pishchi `etot plamen',
I sljozy padajut na kamen'.
