by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Siyala noch`. Lunoj by'l polon sad. Lezhali
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Siyala noch`. Lunoj by'l polon sad. Lezhali
Luchi u nashix nog v gostinoj bez ognej. 
Royal` by'l ves` raskry't, i struny' v nem drozhali,
Kak i serdcza u nas za pesneyu tvoej. 

Ty' pela do zari, v slezax iznemogaya,
Chto ty' odna - lyubov`, chto net lyubvi inoj,
I tak xotelos` zhit`, chtob, zvuka ne ronyaya,
Tebya lyubit`, obnyat` i plakat` nad toboj. 

I mnogo let proshlo, tomitel`ny'x i skuchny'x,
I vot v tishi nochnoj tvoj golos sly'shu vnov`,
I veet, kak togda, vo vzdoxax e`tix zvuchny'x,
Chto ty' odna - vsya zhizn`, chto ty' odna - lyubov`,

Chto net obid sud`by' i serdcza zhguchej muki,
A zhizni net koncza, i celi net inoj,
Kak tol`ko verovat` v ry'dayushie zvuki,
Tebya lyubit`, obnyat` i plakat` nad toboj!
