Lyubov` - e`to son upoitel`ny'j,
Svet zhizni, istochnik zhivitel`ny'j.
V nej muki, vostorg, v nej vesna;
Blazhenstva i gorya polna,
  I slezy'
  I grezy'
Tak divno darit nam ona.
No chuzhdy' mne devy' prekrasny'e,
Ob``yat`ya bezumny'e, vlastny'e,
I shelkovy'x kos aromat,
I ochi, chto zhgut i tomyat,
  I lepet,
  I trepet,
I ust upoitel`ny'j yad.
Lyublyu ya lyubov`yu bezbrezhnoyu,
  Nezhnoyu,
Kak smert` beznadezhnoyu;
Lyublyu moyu grezu prekrasnuyu,
Princessu moyu svetlookuyu,
Mechtu doroguyu, neyasnuyu,
  Dalekuyu.

Iz czarstva videnij sletaya,
Lazurny'm ognem zalitaya,
Nisxodit na zemlyu ona,
Vsya skazochnoj tajny' polna,
  I slezy'
  I grezy'
Tak divno darit mne ona.
Lyublyu - i otveta ne zhdu ya,
Lyublyu - i ne zhdu poceluya.
Ved` v zhizni odna krasota -
Mechta, dorogaya mechta;
  I sladkoj
  Zagadkoj
Teper` moya zhizn` ob``yata.
Lyublyu ya lyubov`yu bezbrezhnoyu,
  Nezhnoyu,
Kak smert` beznadezhnoyu;
Lyublyu moyu grezu prekrasnuyu,
Princessu moyu svetlookuyu,
Mechtu doroguyu, neyasnuyu,
  Dalekuyu!..

Iz mira videnij sletaya,
Lazurny'm ognem zalitaya,
Nisxodit na zemlyu ona,
Vsya skazochnoj tajny' polna,
  I slezy'
  I grezy'
Tak divno darit mne ona.
Lyublyu - i otveta ne zhdu ya,
Lyublyu - i ne zhdu poceluya:
Ved` v zhizni odna krasota
Mechta, dorogaya mechta;
  I sladkoj
  Zagadkoj
Teper` moya zhizn` ob``yata.
Lyublyu ya lyubov`yu bezbrezhnoyu,
  Nezhnoyu,
Kak smert` beznadezhnoyu,
Lyublyu moyu grezu prekrasnuyu,
Princessu moyu svetlookuyu,
Mechtu doroguyu, neyasnuyu,
Dalekuyu!...
