by Arseny Arkad'yevich Golenishchev-Kutuzov (1848 - 1913)

Temno krugom — ni zvukov, ni dvizhen`ya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Temno krugom — ni zvukov, ni dvizhen`ya,
Nadvinulasya noch` so vsex storon.
Spi, yuny'j drug! Volshebny'j viden`ya
Pust` ozaryat` tvoj bezmyatezhny'j son;
Kogda zhe chas nastanet probuzhden`ya,
Pust` radosten i vesel budet on,
Kak tot, kogda voskresshaya priroda
Vstrechaet pesn`yu pervy'j luch vosxoda.

Zakroj glaza… Sred` chutkoj tishiny'
V polnochny'j chas, kak nyanya, nad toboyu
YA ne usnu. Mechty' moi polny'
Kakoj-to tixoj, sladkoyu toskoyu.
Mne chuditsya, kak budto plesk volny',
Il` dal`nij ropot lesa… to so mnoyu
Minuvshee beseduet tajkom…
Ne slushaj nas — usni glubokim snom.

Zhitejskix bur` proshla pora — i rovno
Teper` tekut nezrimy'e goda.
Py'l yunosti myatezhnoj i grexovnoj
Ugas i vnov` ne vspy'xnet nikogda.
Nam yarko svetit solnce, nam lyubovno
Zhizn` uly'baetsya… lish` inogda
Korotkoe vdrug zavernet nenast`e,
Potom opyat` svetlej proglyanet schast`e.

Gde schast`e nachinaetsya, tam net
Predmetov dlya rasskaza; tam bezzvuchno
Struitsya zhizn`, svoj prikry'vaya sled
Ot glaz chuzhix; vnimat` ej by'lo-b skuchno;
Tam net ni bitv, ni slavy', ni pobed,
Ni buri, s yunoj strast`yu nerazluchnoj;
Tam nechego v gryadushhem ozhidat`,
Tam svetly'j mir i Bozh`ya blagodat`!

No v tishine poroj vospominan`ya
Gremyat vdali, kak voln morskix priboj,
I vnov` soby'tij davnix ochertan`ya
Pered glazami smutnoj cheredoj
Vstayut iz toj puchiny' bez nazvan`ya,
Kuda nesetsya vremya, za soboj
V bezbrezhnoe, nevedomoe more
Vlacha lyudskie radosti i gore.

I sladok shum tex otdalenny'x voln,
I mily' te neyasny'e viden`ya;
Tainstvenny'j polet ix negi poln,
On tixie navodit razmy'shlen`ya.
U pristani stoit spokojno cheln —
Plovczu ne strashny' buri i volnen`ya:
No zorko v dal` on smotrit skvoz` tuman,
A tam vdali bushuet okean…
