На землю сумрак пал; не шелохнут кусты; Свернулись лилии поблекшие листы, И тихо озеро почило. Под обаянием волшебной красоты, Стою задумавшись: «Что грустен нынче ты, И всё кругом тебя уныло?» Поутру прихожу: [росой оживлена]1, Проснулась лилия, [роскошна и пышна]2 И милая, в блистающей одежде. С улыбкою [привет на небо шлет она.]3 И плещет в озере веселая волна...4 [Я грустен]5, как и прежде!
