by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Постой! здесь хорошо! зубчатой и широкой
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Постой! здесь хорошо! зубчатой и широкой
Каймою тень легла от сосен в лунный свет…
Какая тишина! Из-за горы высокой
Сюда и доступа мятежным звукам нет.

Я не пойду туда, где камень вероломный,
Скользя из-под пяты с отвесных берегов,
Летит на хрящ морской; где в море вал огромный
Придёт — и убежит в объятия валов.

Одна передо мной, под мирными звездами,
Ты здесь царица чувств, властительница дум…
А там придёт волна — и грянет между нами…
Я не пойду туда: там вечный плеск и шум!
