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

Pred zarëju
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne trevož'sja, nedremljuščij drug,
[Esli]1 stalo temnee vokrug,
Esli gasnet zvezda za zvezdoju,
Esli skrylas' luna v oblakach,
I klubjatsja tumany v lugach:
Ėto stalo temnej - pred zarëju...

Ne pugajsja, neopytnyj brat,
Čto iz nor svoich gady spešat
Zavladet' bezzaščitnoj zemleju.
Čto begut pauki, čto, šipja,
Na bolote prosnulas' zmeja:
Ėto gady begut - pred zarëju...

Ne grusti, čto vo mrake nočnom
Ljudi mertvym pokojatsja snom,
Čto v bezmolvii slyšny poroju
Tol'ko glupyj napev petuchov
Ili zloe vorčanie psov:
Ėto - son, ėto - laj pred zarëju...
