by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Dissonans
Language: Russian (Русский)

Pust' po vole sudeb ja rasstalas' s toboj, --
Pust' drugoj obladaet moej krasotoj!
Iz ob"jatij ego, iz nočnoj duchoty,
Unošus' ja dalëko na kryl'jach mečty.
Vižu snova naš staryj, zapuščennyj sad:
Otražënnyj v prude potuchaet zakat,
Pachnet lipovym cvetom v prochlade allej,
Za prudom, gde-to v rošče, určit solovej...
JA stekljannuju dver' otvorila -- drožu --
JA iz mraka v tainstvennyj sumrak gljažu --
Ču! tam chrustnula vetka -- ne ty li šagnul?!
Vstrepenulasja ptička -- ne ty li spugnul?!
JA prislušivajus', ja mučitel'no ždu,
JA na šelest šagov tvoich ticho idu --
Cholodit moi členy to strast', to ispug --
Ėto ty menja za ruku vzjal, milyj drug?!
Ėto ty ostorožno tak obnjal menja,
Ėto tvoj poceluj -- poceluj bez ognja!
S bol'ju v trepetnom serdce, s volnen'em v krovi
Ty ne smeeš' otdat'sja bezumstvam ljubvi, --
I, vnimaja rečam blagorodnym tvoim,
JA ne smeju dat' volju vlečen'jam svoim,
I drožu, i šepču tebe: milyj ty moj!
Pust' vladeet on žalkoj moej krasotoj!
Iz ob"jatij ego, iz nočnoj duchoty,
JA opjat' uletaju na kryl'jach mečty,
V ėtot sad, v ėtu tem', vot na ėtu skam'ju,
Gde vpervye podslušal ty dušu moju...
JA dušoju slivajus' s tvoeju dušoj --
Pust' vladeet on žalkoj moej krasotoj!
