by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Порой, среди забот и жизненного шума
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Порой, среди забот и жизненного шума,
Внезапно набежит мучительная дума
И гонит образ твой из горестной души.
Но только лишь один останусь я в тиши
И суетного дня минует гул тревожный,
Смиряется во мне волненье жизни ложной,
Душа, как озеро, прозрачна и сквозна,
И взор я погрузить в неё могу до дна;
Спокойной мыслию, ничем не возмутимой,
Твой отражаю лик желанный и любимый
И ясно вижу глубь, где, как блестящий клад,
Любви моей к тебе сокровища лежат.
