by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Kakaja noch'! Na vsjom kakaja nega!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kakaja noch'! Na vsjom kakaja nega!
Blagodarju, rodnoj polnochnyj kraj!
Iz carstva l'dov, iz carstva v'jug i snega
Kak svezh i chist tvoj vyletajet maj!

Kakaja noch'! Vse zvjozdy do jedinoj
Teplo i krotko v dushu smotrjat vnov',
I v vozdukhe za pesn'ju solov'inoj
Raznositsja trevoga i ljubov'.

Berjozy zhdut. Ikh list poluprozrachnyj
Zastenchivo manit i teshit vzor.
Oni drozhat. Tak deve novobrachnoj
I radosten i chuzhd jejo ubor.

Net, nikogda nezhnej i bestelesnej
Tvoj lik, o noch', ne mog menja tomit'!
Opjat' k tebe idu s nevol'noj pesnej,
Nevol'noj — i poslednej, mozhet byt'.
