I love you citadel of Peters I love you elegant austerity of line, Your broad Neva, whose gracious waters Mid granite-clad embankment shine. I love you traceries iron of gate and railing, The moonless brilliance of the light That sheds a beauty never paling Upon you meditative night. When, neither lamp or candle hiding I sit composing verse or reading And slumbering mansions towering high, Stand clear against the lucid sky. Люблю тебя, Петра творенье, Люблю твой строгий, стройный вид, Невы державное теченье, Береговой ее гранит, Твоих оград узор чугунный, Твоих задумчивых ночей Прозрачный сумрак, блеск безлунный, Когда я в комнате моей Пишу, читаю без лампады, И ясны спящие громады Пустынных улиц, и светла Адмиралтейская игла.
