by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Ėj, šutka‑molodost'! Kak novyj, rannij...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ėj, šutka-molodost'! Kak novyj, rannij sneg
Vsegda i čist i svež! Carica tajnych neg,
Luna zerkal'naja nad drevneju Moskvoju
Odnu vyvodit noč' blestjaščej za drugoju.
Čto, vse li uleglis', usnuli? Ne pora l'?..
Na serdce žar ljubvi, i trepet, i pečal'!..
Begu! Dalekie, kak by v voznagražden'e,
Šljut zvezdy v inee svoe izobražen'e.
V sijan'i polnoči bezmolven son Kremlja.
Pod bystroju stopoj promerzlaja zemlja
Zvučit, i po krutoj, chotja nedavnej stuže
Dochodit boj časov poryvistej i tuže.
Begu! Nigde ognja, - sosedi polegli,
I každyj zvuk šagov, razdavšijsja vdali,
Il' teni na stene blestjaščej kolychan'e
Mne naprjagaet sluch, prervav moe dychan'e.
