by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Den` i noch`
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Na mir tainstvenny'j duxov,
Nad e`toj bezdnoj bezy'myannoj,
Pokrov nabroshen zlatotkany'j
Vy'sokoj voleyu bogov.

Den` - sej blistatel`ny'j pokrov -
Den`, zemnorodny'x ozhivlen`e,
Dushi bolyashhej iscelen`e,
Drug chelovekov i bogov!

No merknet den` - nastala noch`;
Prishla, i s mira rokovogo
Tkan` blagodatnuyu pokrova
Sorvav, otbrasy'vaet proch`...
I bezdna nam obnazhena
S svoimi straxami i mglami,
I net pregrad mezh ej i nami -
Vot otchego nam noch` strashna!
