by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Mesjac zerkal'nyj plyvet po lazurnoj...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mesjac zerkal'nyj plyvet po lazurnoj pustyne,
Travy stepnye unizany vlagoj vechernej,
Rechi otryvistej, serdce opjat' sujevernej,
Dlinnye teni vdali potonuli v lozhbine.

V `etoj nochi, kak v zhelanijakh, vse bespredel'no,
Kryl'ja rastut u kakikh-to vozdushnykh stremlenij,
Vzjal by tebja i pomchalsja by tak zhe bescel'no,
Svet unosja, pokidaja nevernye teni.

Mozhno li, drug moj, tomit'sja v tjazheloj kruchine?
Kak ne zabyt', khot' na vremja, jazvitel'nykh ternij?
Travy stepnye sverkajut rosoju vechernej,
Mesjac zerkal'nyj bezhit po lazurnoj pustyne.
