by Semyon Yakovlevich Nadson (1862 - 1887)

Zarja lenivo dogorajet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zarja lenivo dogorajet 
Na nebe aloj polosoj ;
Selo bezzvuchno zasypajet
V sijan'i nochi goluboj;
I tol'ko pesnja, zamiraja,
V usnuvshem vozdukhe zvuchit,
Da ruchejek, strujej igraja,
S zhurchan'em po lesu bezhit...
Kakaja noch'! Kak velikany,
Derev'ja sonnye stojat,
I izumrudnye poljany
V glubokoj mgle bezmolvno spjat...
V kapriznykh, strannykh ochertan'jakh
Nesutsja tuchki v nebesakh;
Svet s t'moj v roskoshnykh sochetan'jakh
Lezhit na listve i stvolakh...
S otradoj zhadnoj grud' vdykhajet
V sebja prokhladnye strui,
I snova v serdce zakipajet
Zhelan'e schast'ja i ljubvi...
