by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822)
Translation by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

К Мэри
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the English 
О, Мэри, мой далекий друг,
Как скучен без тебя досуг.
Сижу один, и в тишине
Я вижу взор твой; снится мне
Улыбка ясная твоя
И голос - пенье соловья,
Светлей, чем жемчуг вешних струй,
Нежней, чем первый поцелуй.
  
Вся очарована земля,
Цветут Италии поля,
Но я, тоскуя и любя,
Твержу: мне грустно без тебя:
Ты далеко... Приди ко мне...
Как мчится облачко к луне,
Как ветер теплый к морю льнет,
Как мрак ночной рассвета ждет, -
К тебе из тьмы взываю я,
Звезда вечерняя моя,
Приди ко мне! Приди ко мне!

[И]1 эхо вторит в тишине:
                      "Приди ко мне!.."
