by Nikolai Mikhailovich Yazykov (1803 - 1846)

Noch'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Pomerkla neba sineva,
Bezmolvny roshchi i poljany;
Tam pod goroj, jedva, jedva
Bezhit, zhurchit ruchej stekljannyj.
Carica sna i temnoty,
Carica divnykh snovidenij!
Kak sladostno laskajesh' ty
Uedinennye mechty
I negu vol'nykh vdokhnovenij!

On otdykhajet, greshnyj svet:
Glavu stradal'ca utomilo
Odnoobrazije sujet,
Strastej i chuvstvennosti miloj.
O noch'! poshli jemu pokoj,
Daruj viden'ja zolotye,
Da ulelejannyj toboj
Zabudet on i shum dnevnoj,
I strakhi, i nadezhdy zlye.

No ty lampady ne tushi,
Ne vodvorjaj uspokojen'ja
Tam, gde po`et svojej dushi
Svershajet strojnye tvoren'ja;
Puskaj torzhestvennyj voskhod
Velikolepnogo svetila
Jego bessonnogo najdjot,
I snova dum jego poljot
Podymet Bozheskaja sila!
