by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Когда лежит луна ломтем чарджуйской дыни
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  DUT
Когда лежит луна ломтем чарджуйской дыни
На краешке окна, и духота кругом,
Когда закрыта дверь, и заколдован дом
Воздушной веткой голубых глициний,
И в чашке глиняной холодная вода,
И полотенца снег, и свечка восковая
Горит, как в детстве, мотыльков сзывая,
Грохочет тишина, моих не слыша слов, -
Тогда из черноты рембрандтовских углов
Склубится что-то вдруг и спрячется туда же,
Но я не встрепенусь, не испугаюсь даже...
Здесь одиночество меня поймало в сети.
Хозяйкин черный кот глядит, как глаз столетий,
И в зеркале двойник не хочет мне помочь.
Я буду сладко спать. Спокойной ночи, ночь.
