by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Notturno
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ты спишь один, забыт на месте диком,
Старинный монастырь!
Твой свод упал; кругом летают с криком
Сова и нетопырь.

И стекол нет, и свищет вихорь ночи
Во впадину окна,
Да плющ растет, да устремляет очи
Полночная луна.

И кто-то там мелькает в свете лунном,
Блестит его убор —
И слышатся на помосте чугунном
Шаги и звуки шпор.

И грустную симфонию печали
Звучит во тьме орган…
То тихо всё, как будто вечно спали
И стены и орган.
