Storm-clouds whirl and storm-clouds scurry; From behind them pale moonlight Flickers… — Alexander Pushkin
Storm-clouds whirl and storm-clouds scurry; From behind them pale moonlight Flickers where the snowflakes hurry. Dark the sky and dark the night.
In the original Russian
Мчатся тучи, вьются тучи; Невидимкою луна Освещает снег летучий; Мутно небо, ночь мутна.
