by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Kto b ni byl ty, no, vstretjas' s nej
Language: Russian (Русский) 
1
 Kto b ni byl ty, no, vstretjas' s nej,
 Dušoju čistoj il' grechovnoj,
 Ty vdrug počuvstvueš' živej,
 Čto est' mir lučšij, mir duchovnyj.

2
 Kak nerazgadannaja tajna,
 Živaja prelest' dyšit v nej —
 My smotrim s trepetom trevožnym
 Na tichij svet ee očej —

 Zemnoe l' v nej očarovan'e,
 Il' nezemnaja blagodat'?..
 Duša chotela b ej molit'sja,
 A serdce rvetsja obožat'...

N. Cherepnin sets stanzas 2-3
