by Aleksei Nikolayevich Apukhtin (1841 - 1893)
День ли царит, тишина ли ночная
Language: Russian (Русский)
День ли царит, тишина ли ночная,
В снах ли [тревожных]1, в житейской борьбе,
Всюду со мной, мою жизнь наполняя,
Дума все та же, одна роковая,
Всё о тебе!
С нею не страшен мне призрак былого,
Сердце воспрянуло снова любя...
Вера, мечты, вдохновенное слово,
Всё, что в душе дорогого, святого,
Всё от тебя!
Будут ли дни мои ясны, унылы,
Скоро ли сгину я, жизнь загубя!
Знаю одно, что до самой могилы
Помыслы, чувства, и песни, и силы,
Всё для тебя!
