by Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818 - 1883)

Lesnaya tish`
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Lesnaya tish`, lesnaya tish`!
Kakoj otradoj veesh` ty'!
Kakim vsesil`ny'm volshebstvom
Ty' budish` grezy' i mechty'!
V gluxoj teni zhivy'x vetvej
Ruchej tainstvenno zhurchit,
I solncza luch, kak by' skvoz` son,
Edva trepeshhet i skol`zit.
Edva trepeshhet i skol`zit...
O chyom-to shepchet veterok,
I list`ya shepchut mezh soboj.
Uzh ne smeyotsya l` legkij sil`f
Za toj razvesistoj sosnoj?
Vdrug chisty'j zvon, kak by' volnoyu,
Ob``emlet les, nedvizhny'j les!
Vdrug chisty'j zvon, kak by' volnoyu,
Ob``emlet les, nedvizhny'j les!
I vy'she, vy'she vse vzletaet,
I vy'she, vy'she vse vzletaet
I v glubine nebes ischez!
