by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

‎Очи твои, голубые и чистые —
Language: Russian (Русский) 
‎Очи твои, голубые и чистые —
Слиянье небесной лазури с изменчивым блеском волны;
‎Пряди волос золотистые
Нежнее, чем нить паутины в сияньи вечерней Луны.

‎Вся ты — намёк, вся ты — сказка прекрасная,
Ты — отблеск зарницы, ты — отзвук загадочной песни без слов;
‎Светлая, девственно-ясная,
Вакханка с душою весталки, цветок под покровом снегов.
