by Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819 - 1898)

Gadanie
Language: Russian (Русский) 
«Pogadaj-ka mne, staruška,
JA davno tebja ždala!»
Černobrovaja, v lochmot'jach,
K nej cyganka podošla.
«Ja skažu tebe vsju pravdu,
Daj na ručku mne vzgljanut':
Beregis', tebja tvoj milyj
Zamyšljaet obmanut'…»

A ona v sosednem pole
Sorvala sebe cvetok,
I lepečet, obryvaja
Každyj belyj lepestok:
«Ljubit – net, ne ljubit, ljubit».
I, oborvannyj krugom,
«Da!» - skazal cvetok ej temnym,
Serdcu vnjatnym jazykom.

Na ustach ee - ulybka,
V serdce - slezy i groza.
S upoeniem i grust'ju
On gljadit v ee glaza.
Govorit ona: «Obman tvoj
JA predvižu - i ne lgu,
Čto tebja voznenavidet'
I choču, no ne mogu».

On gljadit vse tak že grustno,
No lico ego gorit...
On, k pleču ee ustami
Pripadaja, govorit:
«Beregis' menja! JA znaju,
Čto tebja ja pogublju,
Ottogo, čto ja bezumno,
Gorjačo tebja ljublju!»
