Всё в тающей дымке:
Холмы, перелески.
Здесь краски не ярки
И звуки не резки.
Здесь медленны реки,
Туманны озера,
И всё ускользает
От беглого взора.
Здесь мало увидеть,
Здесь нужно всмотреться
Чтоб ясной любовью
Наполнилось сердце.
Здесь мало услышать,
Здесь вслушаться нужно,
Чтоб в дущу созвучья
Нахлынули дружно.
Чтоб вдруг отразили
Прозрачные воды
Всю прелесть застенчевой
Русской природы.
Николай Рыленков
Everything is in melting haze: groves and hills.
Colors are not bright here,
And sounds are not loud.
Rivers are slow here,
And lakes are shimmer with fog,
And everything slips from a cursory look.
Seeing is not enough here,
Gazing deeply is needed
To fill your heart with pure love.
To hear is not enough here,
to listen and heed is needed
To let the sounds of harmony
enter your soul at once.
So that the transparent waters
suddenly mirror all the charm
of shy Russian nature.
