by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Люблю, если, тихо к плечу моему головой...
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Люблю, если, тихо к плечу моему головой прислонившись,
С любовью ты смотришь, как, очи потупив, я думаю думу,
А ты угадать её хочешь. Невольно проникнут тобою,
Я очи к тебе обращу и с твоими в стречаюсь очами,
И мы улыбнемся безмолвно, как будто бы в сладком молчаньи
Мы мыслью сошлися и много сказали улыбкой и взором.1
