Poems about Petersburg
translation of Samuel Marshak
- This midnight is full of magic
- Marble of buildings shone with shine
- And in a sleep restless Neva
- Flares in black, motionless granite.
- Marble of buildings shone with shine
- And get up in the middle of the night blue
- Two giants - two sphinxes by the waters
- Quietly listen to the murmur of the Neva
- White wind sings a song to them
- Two giants - two sphinxes by the waters
- I go to them in dumb shine
- In the realm of white exciting charms
- The city sleeps, weighed down by sin
- And in a dream he suffocates a nightmare
- In the realm of white exciting charms
- Swarms froze over the palaces
- Light clouds - azure, like ice.
- Here are the exiles - my brothers
- Sphinxes doze off the northern waters
- Light clouds - azure, like ice.
