by Lev Aleksandrovich Mey (1822 - 1862)

Splyu, no serdce moyo chutkoe ne spit
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Splyu, no serdce moyo chutkoe ne spit...
Za dveryami golos milogo zvuchit:
«Otvori, moya nevesta, otvori!
Dogorelo plamya aloe zari;
   Nad lugami, nad shelkovy'mi,
   Brodit belaya rosa
   I slezinkami perlovy'mi
   Mne smochila volosa;
Sxodit s neba noch` proxladnaya -
Otvori mne, nenaglyadnaya!``

``Ya odezhdy' legkotkany'e snyala,
YA omy'la moi nogi i legla,
YA na lozhe cepeneyu i goryu -
Kak ya vstanu, kak ya dveri otvoryu?``
   Mily'j v dver` moyu kedrovuyu
   Stuknul smeloyu rukoj:
   Vskoly'xnulo grud` puxovuyu
   Perekatnoyu volnoj,
I, polna zhelan`ya znojnogo,
Vstala s lozha ya pokojnogo.

S smugly'x plech moix pokrov nochnoj skl`zit;
Zhzhet noga moya xolodny'j mramor plit;
S cherny'x kos moix struitsya aromat;
Na rukax zapyast`ya cenny'e brenchat.
   Otperla ya dver` dokuchnuyu:
   Statny'j yunosha voshel
   I so mnoyu sladkozvuchnuyu
   Potixon`ku rech` povel -
I slilas` ya s rech`yu nezhnoyu
Vsej dushoj moej myatezhnoyu.
