Deva
Language: Russian (Русский)
Kak mila jejo golovka V belom oblake chalmy! Kak pristalo jej razdum'e V tomnyj chas vechernej t'my! Kak roskoshno aloj tkan'ju Obrisovan gibkij stan! Skazhesh': rozami odeta, Skazhesh': gost' volshebnykh stran. A glaza - zhivye zvjozdy - Chto za nega i krasa: V nikh skvoz' vlagu bryzzhut iskry, Skvoz' ogon' blestit rosa. `Eto gurija proroka, Predveshchajushchaja raj; O gjaur! Gljadi na devu I zhelanijem sgoraj!
