Fragment: My thoughts arise and fade in...

Language: English

My thoughts arise and fade in solitude,
The verse that would invest them melts away
Like moonlight in the heaven of spreading day:
How beautiful they were, how firm they stood,
Flecking the starry sky like woven pearl!

Mechty v odinochestve vjanut

Language: Russian

 Mechty v odinochestve vjanut i vnov' rascvetajut.
 V sozvuch'ja khotel by odet' ikh, sozvuchija tajut.
 Kak v bleske rassveta sijan'je luny i merknet, i gasnet,
 Tak nezhnyje sny blesnut i, blesnuv, uletajut.
