Сумерки
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Она задумалась. Одна, перед окном
Склонясь, она сидит и в сумраке ночном
Мерцает долгий взор; а в синеве безбрежной
Темнеющих небес, роняя лучь свой нежный,
Восходят звездочки безшумною толпой;
И кажется, что там какой-то светлый рой
Таинственно парит и, словно восхищенный,
Трепещет над её головкою склоненной.

Twilight
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
She became pensive. Alone, leaning before the window,
She sits, and in the nocturnal dusk
Her lingering gaze glimmers; and in the boundless blueness
Of the darkening heavens, dispersing their tender rays,
Little stars rise in a quiet crowd,
And it seems that there some kind of bright cluster
Mysteriously soars and, as if enraptured,
Quivers above her bowed little head.
