by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

К живописцу
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Дитя харит и вображенья,
В порыве пламенной души,
Небрежной кистью наслажденья
Мне друга сердца напиши.

Красу невинности небесной,
Надежды [робкия]1 черты,
Улыбку душеньки прелестной
И взоры самой красоты.

Вкруг тонкого Гебеи стана
Венерин пояс [повяжи]2,
Сокрытой прелестью Альбана
Мою царицу окружи.

Представь мечту любви стыдливой,
И той, которою дышу,
Рукой любовника счастливой
Внизу я имя подпишу.
