Nightingales, A Sigh, A Whisper
Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet 1820 (Mtsensk) – 1892 (Moscow)
Nightingales, a sigh, a whisper
In a shady nook
And the lullaby in silver
Of a lazy brook.
Light of night and midnight shadow
Falling from above
And the changing mood and magic
Of a face you love
Through dark clouds a red rose peeping
And an amber gleam,
And the kissing and the weeping
And the dawn serene!
