Ночь
Language: Russian (Русский)
Меркнет слабый свет свечи... Бродит мрак унылый... И тоска сжимает грудь С непонятной силой... На печальные глаза Тихо сон нисходит... И с прошедшим в этом миг Речь душа заводит. Истомилася она Горестью глубокой. Появись же, хоть во сне, О, мой друг далекий!

Nachts
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Schon erlischt der Kerze Schein... Dunkel wird die Kammer... Schwer drückt mir die müde Brust Herzeleid und Jammer... Auf wie trüben Augen senkt Leis' der Schlaf sich nieder... Bilder aus vergangner Zeit nah'n der Seele wieder. Ruhen möcnt' nach herbem Leid Meine Seele gerne.... Komm, erscheine mir im Traum, Liebste, die so ferne!...
