by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Prishli i stali teni nochi
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Prishli i stali teni nochi
Na strazhe u moix dverej!
Smelej glyadit mne pryamo v ochi
Glubokij mrak eyo ochej;
Nad uxom shepchet golos nezhny'j,
I zmejkoj b`yotsya mne v liczo
Eyo volos, moej nebrezhnoj
Rukoj izmyatoe, kol`czo.
Pomedli, noch`! gustoyu t`moyu
Pokroj volshebny'j mir lyubvi!
Ty', vremya, dryaxloyu rukoyu
Svoi chasy' ostanovi!
No pokachnulis` teni nochi,
Begut, shatayasya, nazad.
Eyo potuplenny'e ochi
Uzhe glyadyat i ne glyadyat;
V moix rukax ruka zasty'la,
Sty'dlivo na moej grudi
Ona liczo svoyo sokry'la…
O solnce, solnce! Pogodi!
