by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Ты рождена воспламенять
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ты рождена воспламенять
воображение поэтов,
его тревожить и пленять
[любезной живостью]1 приветов,
восточной странностью речей,
блистаньем зеркальных очей
и этой ножкою нескромной;
ты рождена для неги томной,
для упоения страстей.
