by Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803 - 1873)

Ya ochi znal, – o, e`ti ochi!
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ya ochi znal, – o, e`ti ochi!
Kak ya lyubil ix – znaet bog!
Ot ix volshebnoj, strastnoj nochi
YA dushu otorvat` ne mog.

V nepostizhimom e`tom vzore,
Zhizn` obnazhayushhem do dna,
Takoe sly'shalosya gore,
Takaya strasti glubina!

Dy'shal on grustny'j, uglublenny'j
V teni resnicz ee gustoj,
Kak naslazhden`ya, utomlenny'j
I, kak stradan`ya, rokovoj.

V e`ti chudny'e mgnoven`ya
Ni razu mne ne dovelos`
S nim povstrechat`sya bez volnen`ya
I lyubovat`sya im bez slez.
