by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Prišli i stali teni noči
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Prišli i stali teni noči
Na straže u moich dverej!
Smelej gljadit mne prjamo v oči
Glubokij mrak eë očej;
Nad uchom šepčet golos nežnyj,
I zmejkoj b'ëtsja mne v lico
Eë volos, moej nebrežnoj
Rukoj izmjatoe, kol'co.
Pomedli, noč'! gustoju t'moju
Pokroj volšebnyj mir ljubvi!
Ty, vremja, drjachloju rukoju
Svoi časy ostanovi!
No pokačnulis' teni noči,
Begut, šatajasja, nazad.
Eë potuplennye oči
Uže gljadjat i ne gljadjat;
V moich rukach ruka zastyla,
Stydlivo na moej grudi
Ona lico svoë sokryla…
O solnce, solnce! Pogodi!
