Alright, I'm trying to find the poem that goes along with the first movement, barcarolle, I can read enough cyrillic to know thats its by lermontov, but I can't make out a lot of the letters in the poem itself. I'd appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Those are lines from the poem "Венеция."

You can find the complete poem on the web. Here is one link to the poem:
