Sumrak večernij ticho vzošël
Language: Russian (Русский)
Sumrak večernij ticho vzošël,
Mesjac dvurogij zvezdy povël
V lazurnom prostore,
Vremja pokoja, ljubvi, tišiny,
Vozduch i nebo sijan'ja polny,
Smolklo roptan'e razgul'noj volny,
Sravnjalosja more.
Serdcu otradno, bereg dalëk;
Kak očarovan, spit moj čelnok,
Upali vetrila.
Nebo, kak more, ležit nado mnoj;
More, kak nebo, blestit sinevoj;
V bezdne nebesnoj i bezdne morskoj
Vsë te že svetila.
O, čto by v dušu vošla tišina!
O, čto by reže smuščalas' ona
Zemnymi mečtami!
Lučše, čem v lone lazurnych morej,
Polnoe tajny i polno lučej,
Večnoe nebo gljadelos' by v nej
So vsemi zvezdami.
