by Nikolai Filippovich Pavlov (1803 - 1864)

Ona bezgrešnych snovidenyj
Language: Russian (Русский)

Ona bezgrešnych snovidenyj
tebe na lože ne pošlet,
i dlja nebes, kak dobryj genij,
tvoej duši ne sberežet;
s nej mir drugoj, po mir prelestnyj;
s nej gasnet vera v lučšij kraj...
Ne nazyvaj eë nebesnoj
i u zemli, u zemli ne otnimaj!

Net u neë besplotnych krylij,
čtob otdelit'sja ot ljudej:
ona - slijan'e roz i lilij,
cvetuščich dlja zemnych očej;
ona manit vo chram čudesnyj,
no ėtot chram - ne svetlyj raj,
Ne nazyvaj eë nebesnoj
i u zemli, u zemli ne otnimaj!

Vgljadis' v pronzitel'nye oči,
ne nebom svetjatsja oni:
v nich est' nepravednye noči,
v nich est' mučitel'nye dni.
Pred tronom krasoty telesnoj
svjatych molitv ne zažigaj...
Ne nazyvaj eë nebesnoj
i u zemli, u zemli ne otnimaj!

Ona - ne angel - nebožitel',
no, o ljubvi eë molja,
kak pomnit' gornjuju obitel',
kak znat', čto nebo, čto zemlja?
S nej mir drugoj, no mir prelestnyj,
s nej gasnet vera v lučšij kraj...
Ne nazyvaj eë nebesnoj
i u zemli, u zemli ne otnimaj!
