by Fyodor Kuzmych Teternikov (1863 - 1927), as Fyodor Sologub

Поёт печальный голос
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Поёт печальный голос
Про тишину ночную,
Глядит небесный лебедь
На лилию земную.

На ней роса мерцает
От четырех озер.
В лазоревое море
Она подъемлет взор.

Поет печальный голос
О чем-то непонятном.
Пред смертью ль горний лебедь,
В пути ли невозвратном?

Она в печали нежной,
Она как снег бела.
Её волна колышет,
Её лелеет мгла.
