by Aleksey Stepanovich Khomyakov (1804 - 1860)

Zvyozdy'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
V chas polnochny'j, bliz potoka,
Ty' vzglyani na nebesa:
Sovershayutsya daleko
V gornem mire chudesa.

Nochi vechny'e lampady',
Nevidimy'e v bleske dnya,
Strojno xodyat tam gromady'
Negasimogo ognya.

No vpivajsya v nix ochami —
I uvidish`, chto vdali,
Za blizhajshimi zvezdami,
T`mami zvezdy' v noch` ushli.

Vnov` vglyadis` – i t`my' za t`mami
Utomyat tvoj robkij vzglyad:
Vse zvezdami, vse ognyami
Bezdny' sinie goryat.

V chas polnochnogo molchan`ya,
Otognav obmany' snov,
Ty' vglyadis` dushoj v pisan`ya
Galilejskix ry'bakov, —

I v ob``eme knigi tesnoj
Razvernetsya pred toboj
Beskonechny'j svod nebesny'j
S luchezarnoyu krasoj.

Uzrish` – zvezdy' my'sli vodyat
Tajny'j xor svoj vkrug zemli.
Vnov` vglyadis` – drugie vsxodyat;
Vnov` vglyadis` – i tam vdali

Zvyozdy' my'sli, t`my' za t`mami,
Vsxodyat, vsxodyat bez chisla, —
I zazhzhetsya ix ognyami
Serdcza dremlyushhaya mgla.
