by Pyotr Andreyevich Vyazemsky (1792 - 1878)

Devichij son
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mimo doma vse xozhu,
Vse v odno okno glyazhu:
Ne mel`knet li obraz milogo,
Polny'j tainstva uny'logo,
Kak iz oblaka zhemchuzhnogo,
Slovno lebed` molodoj,
Svetly'j mesyacz neba yuzhnogo
Vy'ply'vaet v t`me nochnoj.
YA ne vedayu, kto on,
On prividelsya kak son
Serdczu v skuke odinochestva,
Son zavetny'j, son prorochestva.
Obol`stitel`ny'j, muchitel`ny'j,
On presleduet menya,
V mrake nochi proxladitel`noj,
V shume plamennogo dnya.

Son moj, sby'tochen li ty',
Il` lukavy'j dar mechty'?
Chto by' ni by'lo, ne setuyu,
Zhizn` im svetluyu, sogretuyu,
Im prekrasnuyu edinstvenno,
Polyubila ya s tex por,
Kak mne na serdce tainstvenno
Zaronilsya chudny'j vzor.
No kogda vo t`me nochnoj
Svetit mesyacz zolotoj,
E`to my'slit svoenravnaya:
Dlya chego emu ne ravnaya
Ne vzojdu v xoromy' zvezdny'e
Loby'zat` ego luchi,
Il` v ob``yatiya lyubezny'e
Ne sojdet k nemu v nochi?
