by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)
Тихо ночью на степи
Language: Russian (Русский)
Тихо ночью [на]1 степи;
Небо ей сказало: спи!
И курганы спят;
Звезды ж крупные в лучах
Говорят на небесах:
Вечный - свят, свят, свят!
В небе чутко и светло.
Неподвижное крыло
За плечом молчит,-
Нет движенья; лишь порой
Бриллиантовой слезой
Ангел пролетит.
