by Arseny Arkad'yevich Golenishchev-Kutuzov (1848 - 1913)

Месяц задумчивый, звёзды далёкие
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GER GER
Месяц задумчивый, звёзды далёкие
С [синего]1 неба водами любуются.
Молча смотрю я на воды глубокие:
Тайны волшебные сердцем в них чуются.
Плешут, таятся, ласкательно нежные;
Много в их ропоте силы чарующей:
Слышатся думы и страсти безбрежные.
Голос неведомый, душу волнующий,
Нежит, пугает, наводит сомнение.
Слушать велит-ли он? с места-б не сдвинулся;
Гонит-ли прочь? -- Убежал-бы в смятении.
В глубь-ли зовёт? -- Без оглядки-б я кинулся! ...
