by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Grom i shum. Korabl' kachajet
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Grom i shum. Korabl' kachajet;
More tjomnoje kipit;
Veter parus obryvajet
I v snastjakh svistit.
Pomrachilsja svod nebesnyj,
I, vverjajas' korablju,
Ja dremlju v kajute tesnoj…
Zakachalo — splju.
Vizhu ja vo sne: kachajet
Njanja kolybel' moju
I tikhon'ko zapevajet —
«Bajushki-baju!»
Svet lampady na podushkakh,
Na gardinakh svet luny…
O kakikh-to vsjo igrushkakh
Zolotye sny.
Prosypajus'… Chto sluchilos'?
Chto takoje? Novyj shkval? —
«Plokho — sten'ga oblomilas',
Rulevoj upal».
Chto zhe delat'? chto mogu ja?
I, vverjajas' korablju,
Vnov' ja ljog i vnov' dremlju ja…
Zakachalo — splju.
Snitsja mne: ja svezh i molod,
Ja vljubljon, mechty kipjat…
Ot zari roskoshnyj kholod
Pronikajet v sad.
Skoro noch' — temnejut jeli…
Slyshu laskovo-zhivoj,
Tikhij lepet: «Na kacheli
Sjadem, milyj moj!»
Stan jejo poluvozdushnyj
Obvila moja ruka,
I kachajetsja poslushno
Zybkaja doska…
Prosypajus'… Chto sluchilos'? —
«Rul' otorvan; cherez nos
Vdol' volna perekatilas',
Unesjon matros!»
Chto zhe delat'? Bud' chto budet!
V ruki Boga otdajus':
Jesli smert' menja razbudit —
Ja ne zdes' prosnus'.
