by Mirra (Mariya) Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya (1869 - 1905)

Любовь совершенная
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Будто сон, – но несбыточней сна,
Как мечта, – но блаженней мечты,
Величаво проходит она
В ореоле святой красоты.

Вся из снега она создана,
Вся – из пламени вешних лучей.
Никогда не помедлит она,
Не была и не будет ничьей.

И лишь в смертный единственный час
Мы усталую душу сольем
С той, что вечно сияла для нас
Белым снегом и чистым огнем.

Confirmed with Мирра Лохвицкая, Стихотворения в пяти томах; Стихотворения в пяти томах #1, СПб: Тип. А. С. Суворина, 1904
