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

Ne smolkaj, govori
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne smolkaj, govori... V laske reči tvoej,
V bezzavetnom vesel'e svidan'ja
Prinesla mne s soboju ty svežest' polej
I cvetov blagovonnych lobzan'ja.

JA vnimaju tebe - i celebnyj obman
Serdce vlastnoj mečtoju ob"emlet,
Mne mereščitsja noč' ... v lunnom bleske tuman
Nad sverkajuščim ozerom dremlet.

Ni dvižen'ja, ni zvuka vokrug, ni duši!
Bespredmetnaja dal' pred očami.
My s toboju vdvoëm v polut'me i tiši,
Pod lazur'ju, lunoj i zvezdami.

Tol'ko vody drožat, tol'ko dyšat cvety
Da tumanitsja vozduch rosistyj,
I, gorja skvoz' tuman, kak zvezda s vysoty,
V dušu svetit mne vzgljad tvoj lučistyj.

V bespredel'nom molčan'i tenej i lučej
Šepčeš' ty pro ljubov' i učast'e...
Ne smolkaj, govori... V laske reči tvoej
Mne zvučit bespredel'noe sčast'e!
