by Ivan P. Makarov (d. 1854)

В морозную ночь я смотрел
Language: Russian (Русский) 
В морозную ночь я смотрел, как катилась
Огнистою струйкой по небу звезда –
Мгновенно блеснула, мгновенно и скрылась!
Бог знает откуда, бог знает куда!
И грустная дума мне в душу запала…

Когда-то в былые счастливые дни
Душа молодая вослед ей шептала
Заветною речью желанья свои;
Теперь я безмолвно глядел на сиянье
Звезды, утопавшей в эфире ночном, -
В душе не нашел я заветных желаний,
И грустно и пусто на сердце моем.
