by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Grom i shum. Korabl` kachaet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Grom i shum. Korabl` kachaet;
More tyomnoe kipit;
Veter parus obry'vaet
I v snastyax svistit.
Pomrachilsya svod nebesny'j,
I, vveryayas` korablyu,
YA dremlyu v kayute tesnoj…
Zakachalo — splyu.
Vizhu ya vo sne: kachaet
Nyanya koly'bel` moyu
I tixon`ko zapevaet —
«Bayushki-bayu!»
Svet lampady' na podushkax,
Na gardinax svet luny'…
O kakix-to vsyo igrushkax
Zoloty'e sny'.
Prosy'payus`… Chto sluchilos`?
Chto takoe? Novy'j shkval? —
«Ploxo — sten`ga oblomilas`,
Rulevoj upal».
Chto zhe delat`? chto mogu ya?
I, vveryayas` korablyu,
Vnov` ya lyog i vnov` dremlyu ya…
Zakachalo — splyu.
Snitsya mne: ya svezh i molod,
YA vlyublyon, mechty' kipyat…
Ot zari roskoshny'j xolod
Pronikaet v sad.
Skoro noch` — temneyut eli…
Sly'shu laskovo-zhivoj,
Tixij lepet: «Na kacheli
Syadem, mily'j moj!»
Stan eyo poluvozdushny'j
Obvila moya ruka,
I kachaetsya poslushno
Zy'bkaya doska…
Prosy'payus`… Chto sluchilos`? —
«Rul` otorvan; cherez nos
Vdol` volna perekatilas`,
Unesyon matros!»
Chto zhe delat`? Bud` chto budet!
V ruki Boga otdayus`:
Esli smert` menya razbudit —
YA ne zdes` prosnus`.
