by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Kak xorosho ty', o more nochnoe, —
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Kak xorosho ty', o more nochnoe, —
Zdes` luchezarno, tam sizo-temno…
V lunnom siyanii, slovno zhivoe,
Xodit, i dy'shit, i bleshhet ono…

Na beskonechnom, na vol`nom prostore
Blesk i dvizhenie, groxot i grom…
Tuskly'm siyan`em oblitoe more,
Kak xorosho ty' v bezlyud`e nochnom!

Zy'b` ty' velikaya, zy'b` ty' morskaya,
Chej e`to prazdnik tak prazdnuesh` ty'?
Volny' nesutsya, gremya i sverkaya,
Chutkie zvezdy' glyadyat s vy'soty'.

V e`tom volnenii, v e`tom siyan`e,
Ves`, kak vo sne, ya poteryan stoyu —
O, kak oxotno by' v ix obayan`e
Vsyu potopil by' ya dushu svoyu…
