by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Lish` tol`ko noch` svoim pokrovom
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Lish` tol`ko noch` svoim pokrovom
Verxi Kavkaza osenit;
Lish` tol`ko mir, volshebny'm slovom
Zavorozhyonny'j, zamolchit;
Lish` tol`ko veter nad skaloyu
Uvyadshej shevel`nyot travoyu,
I ptichka, spryatannaya v nej,
Porxnyot vo mrake veselej;
I pod lozoyu vinogradnoj,
Rosu nebes glotaya zhadno,
Czvetok raspustitsya nochnoj;
Lish` tol`ko mesyacz zolotoj
Iz-za gory' tixon`ko vstanet
I na tebya ukradkoj vzglyanet, —
K tebe ya budu priletat`,
Gostit` ya budu do dennicy'
I na shelkovy'e resnicy'
Sny' zoloty'e navevat`...
