by Nikolai Mikhailovich Yazykov (1803 - 1846)

Noč'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Pomerkla neba sineva,
Bezmolvny rošči i poljany;
Tam pod goroj, edva, edva
Bežit, žurčit ručej stekljannyj.
Carica sna i temnoty,
Carica divnych snovidenij!
Kak sladostno laskaeš' ty
Uedinennye mečty
I negu vol'nych vdochnovenij!

On otdychaet, grešnyj svet:
Glavu stradal'ca utomilo
Odnoobrazie suet,
Strastej i čuvstvennosti miloj.
O noč'! pošli emu pokoj,
Daruj viden'ja zolotye,
Da ulelejannyj toboj
Zabudet on i šum dnevnoj,
I strachi, i nadeždy zlye.

No ty lampady ne tuši,
Ne vodvorjaj uspokoen'ja
Tam, gde poėt svoej duši
Sveršaet strojnye tvoren'ja;
Puskaj toržestvennyj voschod
Velikolepnogo svetila
Ego bessonnogo najdët,
I snova dum ego polët
Podymet Božeskaja sila!
