by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Mesyacz zerkal`ny'j ply'vet po lazurnoj...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mesyacz zerkal`ny'j ply'vet po lazurnoj pusty'ne,
Travy' stepny'e unizany' vlagoj vechernej,
Rechi otry'vistej, serdce opyat` suevernej,
Dlinny'e teni vdali potonuli v lozhbine.

V e`toj nochi, kak v zhelaniyax, vse bespredel`no,
Kry'l`ya rastut u kakix-to vozdushny'x stremlenij,
Vzyal by' tebya i pomchalsya by' tak zhe bescel`no,
Svet unosya, pokidaya neverny'e teni.

Mozhno li, drug moj, tomit`sya v tyazheloj kruchine?
Kak ne zaby't`, xot` na vremya, yazvitel`ny'x ternij?
Travy' stepny'e sverkayut rosoyu vechernej,
Mesyacz zerkal`ny'j bezhit po lazurnoj pusty'ne.
