Volshebnica
Language: Russian (Русский)
Volshebnica, skazhi, kakaja sila Vlechet menja k pokinutym strunam? Kakoj ogon' ty v serdce zaronila, Kakoj vostorg razlilsja po perstam? Davno li ja, ubityj, bezotradnyj V zhestokoj grusti tajno iznyval, Davno l' k tebe, beschuvstvennyj i khladnyj, Tvoj chistyj dar s prezren'em otvergal! Vdrug ves' volshebnyj mir voobrazhen'ja Otkrylsja mne v prelestnejshikh mechtakh, I probudilas' zhazhda pesnopen'ja, I vspykhnul ogn' na radostnykh strunakh. V gorjashchem serdce vymysly rodjatsja, I dumy rojem v'jutsja nado mnoj, Mel'knut, ischeznut, snova vkrug tolpjatsja… Zabyto vse… son, radost' i pokoj!
Note: the poem is quoted by L. Tolstoy in War and Peace but it was not written by Tolstoy.
