by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Wilhelm Aleksandrovich Sorgenfrei (1882 - 1938)
Неподвижные звёзды
Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Неподвижны в небе звёзды, Века и века подряд С любовью и тоскою Друг на друга глядят. И речи ведут чудесным, Богатым языком, Тем самым, что лучшим Филологам не знаком. Но мне их речь понятна, Её я быстро постиг: Грамматикой мослужил мне Моей возлюбленной лик. Ах, звёзды, протяните, Вы к милой волшебные нити И скажите, что поэт Верен ей и шлёт привет.
