by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)
Ot ognej, ot tolpy bespoščadnoj
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ot ognej, ot tolpy bespoščadnoj Nezametno bežali my proč'; Liš' vdvoëm my v teni zdes' prochladnoj, Tret'ja s nami lazurnaja noč'. Serdce robkoe b'ëtsja trevožno, Žaždet sčast'e i dat' i chranit'; Ot ljudej utait'sja vozmožno, No ot zvëzd ničego ne sokryt'. I bezmolvna, krotka, serebrista, Ėta polnoč' za dymkoj skvoznoj Vidit tol'ko čtó večno i čisto, Čtó navejano eju samoj.
