Ангел | В дверях Эдема ангел нежный

by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Ангел

Language: Russian (Русский)

Our translations: ENG FRE

В дверях Эдема ангел нежный
Главой поникшею сиял,
А демон мрачный и мятежный
Над адской бездною летал.

Дух отрицанья, дух сомненья
На духа чистого взирал
И жар невольный умиленья
Впервые смутно познавал.

«Прости,» он рёк, «тебя я видел,
И ты недаром мне сиял:
Не всё я в небе ненавидел,
Не всё я в мире презирал.»
