by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818 - 1883)

Lesnaja tiš'
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Lesnaja tiš', lesnaja tiš'!
Kakoj otradoj veeš' ty!
Kakim vsesil'nym volšebstvom
Ty budiš' grezy i mečty!
V gluchoj teni živych vetvej
Ručej tainstvenno žurčit,
I solnca luč, kak by skvoz' son,
Edva trepeščet i skol'zit.
Edva trepeščet i skol'zit...
O čëm-to šepčet veterok,
I list'ja šepčut mež soboj.
Už ne smeëtsja l' legkij sil'f
Za toj razvesistoj sosnoj?
Vdrug čistyj zvon, kak by volnoju,
Ob"emlet les, nedvižnyj les!
Vdrug čistyj zvon, kak by volnoju,
Ob"emlet les, nedvižnyj les!
I vyše, vyše vse vzletaet,
I vyše, vyše vse vzletaet
I v glubine nebes isčez!
