Sumerki (Tkhorzhevsky, set by S. Rachmaninov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Ona zadumalas'. Odna, pered oknom
Sklonjas', ona sidit i v sumrake nochnom
Mercajet dolgij vzor; a v sineve bezbrezhnoj
Temnejushchikh nebes, ronjaja luch' svoj nezhnyj,

Voskhodjat zvezdochki bezshumnoju tolpoj;
I kazhetsja, chto tam kakoj-to svetlyj roj
Tajinstvenno parit i, slovno voskhishchennyj,
Trepeshchet nad jejo golovkoju sklonennoj.
