by Konstantin Konstantinovich Sluchevsky (1837 - 1904)

Словно как лебеди белые
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Словно как лебеди белые
   Дремлют и очи сомкнули,
Тихо качаясь над озером, -
   Так ее чувства уснули...
 
Словно как лотосы нежные,
   Лики сокрыв восковые,
Спят над глубокой пучиною, -
   Грезы ее молодые.
 
Вы просыпайтеся, лебеди,
   Троньте струю голубую!
Вы раскрывайте же, лотосы,
   Вашу красу восковую!
 
В небе заря, утро красное...
   Здесь я... и жду пробужденья,
Светом любви озаряемый
   В тихой мольбе песнопенья.
