by Ivan Sergeyevich Aksakov (1823 - 1886)

Noch'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Spustilas' noch' v ubranstve zvezdnom,
I, dol'nikh chuzhdye strastej,
Kak by zazhglis' po sinim bezdnam
T'my zorkikh, mysljashchikh ochej.
Mir opochil. Jedva kolyshet
Listy vetvej; krugom drema
I son…
Lish' noch' ne spit sama,
Zhivet i moshchno, merno dyshit,
I chutko zemlju storozhit,
Vse veshchim tainstvom ob"emlet,
I vse nevidimoje zrit,
Neizglagolannomu vnemlet!
Bezzvuchnyj khor vo mgle vedet…
I vnjatna serdcu pesn' nochnaja,
I mnitsja — s gornikh tekh vysot
Zijajet pravda nezemnaja!..
