by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Когда кругом безмолвен лес дремучий
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Когда кругом безмолвен лес дремучий
И вечер тих;
Когда невольно просится певучий
Из сердца стих;
Когда упрёк мне шепчет шелест нивы
Иль шум дерев;
Когда кипит во мне нетерпеливо
Правдивый гнев;
Когда вся жизнь моя покрыта тьмою
Тяжёлых туч;
Когда вдали мелькнёт передо мною
Надежды луч;
Средь суеты мирского развлеченья,
Среди забот,
Моя душа в надежде и в сомненье
Тебя зовёт;
И трудно мне умом понять разлуку,
Ты так близка,
И хочет сжать твою родную руку
Моя рука!
