by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Красавица
 (Sung text for setting by N. Rimsky-Korsakov)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG
Всё в ней гармония, всё диво,
всё выше мира и страстей, 
она покоится стыдливо
к расе торжественной своей;
она кругом себя взирает:
ей нет соперниц, нет подруг;
иных красавиц бледный круг
в её сиянье исчезает.
Куда бы ты ни поспешал,
хоть на любовное свиданье,
какое б в сердце ни питал
ты сокровенное мечтанье;
Но, встретясь с ней, смущенный,
ты вдруг остановишься невольно,
благоговея богомольно
перед святыней красоты.
