by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Vechernij svet pogas
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Vechernij svet pogas.
Chut' dyshit glad' vody.
Nastal zavetnyj chas
Dlja ískristoj Zvezdy.

Ona teper' gorit,
Okutannaja mgloj.
I svetom govorit
Ne s Nebom, a s Zemljoj.

Uvidela ona,
Kak tam vnizu temno,
Kak sladko spit volna,
Kak spit rechnoje dno.

I vot vo mgle, vdali,
Otkryv lico svojo,
Kuvshinki rascveli
I smotrjat na nejo.

Oni gorjat v nochi,
Ikh nezhit glad' vody,
Laskajut ikh luchi
Zastenchivoj Zvezdy.

I budut nad vodoj
Vsju noch' oni goret',
Chtob s Utrennej Zvezdoj
Stydlivo umeret'.
