by Ivan Sergeyevich Aksakov (1823 - 1886)

Noch`
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Spustilas` noch` v ubranstve zvezdnom,
I, dol`nix chuzhdy'e strastej,
Kak by' zazhglis` po sinim bezdnam
T`my' zorkix, my'slyashhix ochej.
Mir opochil. Edva koly'shet
Listy' vetvej; krugom drema
I son…
Lish` noch` ne spit sama,
Zhivet i moshhno, merno dy'shit,
I chutko zemlyu storozhit,
Vse veshhim tainstvom ob``emlet,
I vse nevidimoe zrit,
Neizglagolannomu vnemlet!
Bezzvuchny'j xor vo mgle vedet…
I vnyatna serdczu pesn` nochnaya,
I mnitsya — s gornix tex vy'sot
Ziyaet pravda nezemnaya!..
