by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Poslednij zvuk umolk v lesu glukhom
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Poslednij zvuk umolk v lesu glukhom,
Poslednij luch pogasnul za goroju…
O, skoro li v bezmolvii nochnom,
Prekrasnyj drug, uvizhus' ja s toboju? 

O, skoro li mladencheskaja rech'
V ispug moje izmenit ozhidan'e?
O, skoro li k grudi mojej prilech'
Ty pospeshish', vsja trepet, vsja zhelan'e? 

Skol'zit tuman prozrachnyj nad rekoj,
Kak tvoj pokrov, svivajas' i beleja…
Chas fej nastal! Uvizhus' li s toboj
Ja v carstve fej, mechtatel'naja feja? 

Il' zaodno s toboj i noch', i mgla
Menja tomjat i nezhat v zabluzhden'i?
Il' `eto strast' bol'naja solgala
I zhar nochnoj potukhnet v pesnopen'i?
