Our translations: ENG FRE GER GER

Okončen prazdnyj, šumnyj den';
Ljudskaja žizn', umolknuv, dremlet.
Vse ticho. Majskoj noči ten' 
Stolicu spjaščuju ob"emlet.

No son ot glaz moich bežit,
I pri lučach inoj dennicy
Voobraženie vertit
Godov utračennych stranicy.

Kak budto vnov', vdychaja jad
Vesennich, strastnych snovidennij,
V duše ja voskrešaju rjad
Nadežd, poryvov, zabluždenij...

Uvy, to prizraki odni!
Mne skučno s mertvoj ich tolpoju,
I šum ich staroj boltovni
Uže ne vlasten nado mnoju.

Liš' ten' odna iz vsech tenej
Javilas' mne, dyša ljubov'ju,
I, vernyj drug minuvšich dnej,
Sklonilas' ticho k izgolov'ju.

I smelo otdal ej odnoj
Vsju dušu ja v sleze bezmolvnoj,
Nikem nezrimoj, sčast'ja polnoj...
V sleze, davno chranimoj mnoj!
