by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)

Ty kloniš' lik, o nëm upominaja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ty kloniš' lik, o nëm upominaja,
I do čela tvoja voschodit krov' —
Ne ver' sebe! Sama togo ne znaja,
Ty ljubiš' v nëm liš' pervuju ljubov';

Ty ne ego v nëm vidiš' soveršenstva,
I ne soboj privleč' tebja on mog —
Liš' tajnych dum, mučenij i blaženstva
On dlja tebja otyskannyj predlog;

To liš' obman neopytnogo vzora,
To žizni luč iz serdca jarko b'ët
I zolotit, laskaja bez razbora,
Vsë, čto k nemu slučajno podojdët.
