by Konstantin Konstantinovich Romanov, Grand Duke of Russia (1858 - 1915)
Ja snačala tebja ne ljubila
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja snačala tebja ne ljubila, ty trevožil menja i pugal: menja novaja učast' strašila, i nevedomyj žrebij smuščal. Tvoego ja bojalas' priznan'ja... No nastal neminuemyj čas, i, ne pomnja sebja, bez soznan'ja, ja naveki tebe otdalas'. I rassejalis' vnov' opasen'ja, prežnej robosti net i sleda: pod lučami zari vo mgnoven'e tak tumannaja taët grjada. Slovno solnce, ljubov' prosijala, i nemerknuščij den' zablistal. Žizn'ju novoju serdce vzygralo, i svjaščennyj ogon' zapylal.
