В тишине вечерней
Language: Russian (Русский) 
В тишине вечерней, в тишине безмолвной
Раздаетця тихо благовест церковный,
Отзываяць в сердце то печальной ноткой,
То молитвой чьейто, благостной и кроткойь
Он плывет цпокойно далеко кудато,
В воздухе прохладном, полном аромата,
И дрожит, и тонет, замирая гдето,
Словно струны арфы, пеньем без ответа...

Abendstille
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Durch die Abendstille, durch die stumme Weite,
Leise klingst herüber friedliches Geläute,
Hallt im Herzen wider, bald so voller Wehmut,
Bald wie ein Gebetlein, fromm und voller Demut;
Still und ruhig gleitet's durch die kühlen Lüfte,
Die so wonnig atmen ihre süssen Düfte,
Und erzitternd stirbt es... weit dahin getragen,
Wie die stumme Antwort auf ein stummes Fragen...
