Dante's shabby tome is falling. Tome as in book.

Original lyrics
Зорю бьют
Зорю бьют… из рук моих
Ветхий Данте выпадает,
На устах начатый стих
Недочитанный затих —
Дух далече улетает.
Звук привычный, звук живой,
Сколь ты часто раздавался
Там, где тихо развивался
[Я давнишнею порой.]- Зорю бьют:
Бить Зорю (Играть Зорю): "обвещать, по воинскому уставу, при караулах, о закате и восходе солнца, делить день и ночь, для чего установлен особый барабанный бой и музыка" (словарь Даля)

The bells of Dawn
The bells of dawn are ringing * ... from my hands
Dante's shabby tom is falling,
A poem started on the lips
vanishes into silence unfinished —
The spirit flies far far away.
The sound is familiar, the sound is alive,
So many times have you been heard
In that places where I grew quietly
Way back in days of old.
* In times of the Russian empire, when the bell rings on the dawn it is said "to strike the dawn" – this was the morning signal for the military gathering.
