| Text Incipit
|
Russian:
- Вверху одна горит звезда
- Мой взгляд теряется в торжественном просторе...
- Люблю тебя, месяц, когда озаряешь
- На поляне лесной исполин вековой одиноко спит
German:
- Im Himmel prangt ein heller Stern
- Mein Blick vergeht in jenem feierlichen Raume...
- O Mond, du bist herrlich, Wenn lind du beleuchtest
- In der Wüstheit der Lichtung, ein uralter Ries Steht allein und schläft
