by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)
Ночи безумные, ночи бессонные
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ночи безумные, ночи бессонные, Речи несвязные, взоры усталые... Ночи, последним огнем озаренные, Осени мёртвой цветы запоздалые! Пусть даже время рукой беспощадною Мне указало, что было в вас ложного, Всё же лечу я к вам памятью жадною, В прошлом ответа ищу невозможного... Вкрадчивым шепотом вы заглушаете Звуки дневные, несносные, шумные... В тихую ночь вы мой сон отгоняете, Ночи бессонные, ночи безумные!
