AN ANGEL (in Russian) Words by Mikhail Lermontov
Through midnight skies an angel flew, Singing a quiet tune, And the crescent, and stars, and clouds crowded To hear his holy song.
He sang of sinless spirits, blissful Among the pastures of Heaven, He sang of the mighty God, and his praise Was truly unfeigned.
In his embrace, he carried a fresh soul For our world of sorrow and tears; And in this young soul the sound of angelic song Remained without words but alive.
Long languished this soul in the mundane world, Congested with sublime aspirations, And never the sounds of Heaven were commuted For this one by the tedious songs of Earth. 1831
