by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Вечер после дождя
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Гляжу в окно: уж гаснет небосклон,
Прощальный луч на вышине колонн,
На куполах, на трубах и крестах
Блестит, горит в обманутых очах;
И мрачных туч огнистые края
Рисуются на небе как змея,
И ветерок, по саду пробежав,
Волнует стебли омоченных трав…
Один меж них приметил я цветок, —
Как будто перл, покинувший Восток,
На нем вода блистаючи дрожит.
Главу свою склонивши, он стоит,
Как девушка в печали роковой:
Душа убита, радость над душой;
Хоть слезы льет из пламенных очей,
Но помнит всё о красоте своей.
