by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)
Ja videl raz eë v vesëlom vichre bala
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja videl raz eë v vesëlom vichre bala; Kazalos', mne ona ponravit'sja želala; Očej privetlivost', dviženij bystrota, Prirodnyj blesk lanit i grudi polnota — Vse, vse napolnilo b mne um očarovan'em, Kogda b sovsem inym, bessmyslennym želan'em JA ne byl ugneten; kogda by predo mnoj Ne proletala ten' s nasmeškoju pustoj, Kogda b ja tol'ko mog zabyt' čerty drugie, Lico bescvetnoe i vzory ledjanye!..
