Где сладкий шёпот
Language: Russian (Русский)
Где сладкий шёпот [Моих лесов?]1 Потоков ропот, Цветы лугов? Деревья голы; Ковёр зимы Покрыл холмы, Луга и долы. Под ледяной Своей корой Ручей немеет; Все цепенеет, Лишь ветер злой, Бушуя, воет И небо кроет Седою мглой. Зачем, тоскуя, В окно слежу я Метели лёт? Любимцу счастья Кров от ненастья Оно даёт. Огонь трескучий В моей печи; Его лучи И пыл летучий Мне веселят Беспечный взгляд. В тиши мечтаю Перед живой Его игрой И забываю Я бури вой. О, провиденье, Благодаренье! Забуду я И дуновенье Бурь бытия. Скорбя душою, В тоске моей, Склонюсь главою На сердце к ней, И под мятежной Метелью бед, Любовью нежной Её согрет, Забуду вскоре Крутое горе, Как в этот миг Забыл природы Гробовый лик И непогоды Мятежный крик.

Der Winter
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Wo blieb der Wälder Gesang und Hall, Der Flor der Felder, Des Stromes Schwall? Kahl stehn die Bäume. Des Winters Kleid Deckt weit und breit Die öden Räume. Nich raunen kann Im Eisesbann Der Bach und Kunde. Es schweigt die Runde. Der Wind nur lacht Im Blattgewimmel Und hüllt den Himmel In graue Nacht.
From the Lyapunov score.
