by Nikolai Maksimovich Vilenkin (1855 - 1937), as Nikolai Maksimovich Minsky

Тянутся по небу тучи тяжёлые
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Тянутся по небу тучи тяжёлые,
Мрачно и сыро вокруг.
Плача, деревья качаются голые..
Не просыпайся, мой друг!
Не разгоняй сновиденья весёлые,
Не размыкай своих глаз.
Сны беззаботные,
Сны мимолетные
Снятся лишь раз.

Счастлив, кто спит, кому в осень холодную
Грезятся ласки весны.
Счастлив, кто спит, кто про долю свободную
В тесной тюрьме видит сны.
Горе проснувшимся! В ночь безысходную
Им не сомкнуть своих глаз.
Сны беззаботные,
Сны мимолетные
Снятся лишь раз.
