Мне снилось вечернее небо
Language: Russian (Русский)
Мне снилось вечернее небо И крупные звезды на нём, И бледно-зеленые ивы Над бледно-лазурным прудом, И весь утонувший в сирени Твой [домик]1, и ты у окна, Вся в белом, с поникшей головкой, Прекрасна, грустна и бледна… Ты плакала… Светлые слёзы Катились из светлых очей, И плакали гордые розы, И плакал в кустах соловей. И с каждою новой слезою Внизу, в ароматном саду, Мерцая, светляк загорался И небо роняло звезду.

Mir träumte der nächtliche Himmel
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Mir träumte der nächtliche Himmel, Die Sterne in funkelndem Sprüh'n, Die blassgrünen Weiden am Ufer Des Weihers, sich spiegelnd darin. Mir träumte, in Flieder versunken, Dein Häuschen, und du, trautes Lieb, Im weissen Gewande, am Fenster, So traurig, so bleich und so trüb'... Still weintest du... Schimmernd Tränen vergossen die Äugelein dein, Es weinten die purpurnen Rosen, Die Nachtigall schluchzte darein, Und drunten, im duftschwülen Garten, Zu all deinen Tränen so bang Die Leuchtkäfer flimmernd entbrannten Und zitternd ein Sternlein versank...
