Words by Yakov Polonsky
Night
Why do I love you, bright night, -
I love you so much that, while suffering, I admire you!
And why I love you, quiet night!
You are not for me, you send peace to others! ..
What are the stars to me - the moon - the sky - clouds -
This light that, gliding on cold granite,
Turns dewdrops of a flower into diamonds
And, like a golden path, runs through the sea?
Night! Why should I love your silver light?

Will the greedy heart give the desired answer,
Will doubts be resolved by a difficult question?
What is the dusk of the hills to me - the trembling of sleepy sheets -
The dark sea, the ever-nois
