by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Devuška iz Spoleto
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Stroen tvoj stan, kak cerkovnye sveči.
Vzor tvoj — mečami pronzajuščij vzor.
Deva, ne ždu oslepitel'noj vstreči —
Daj, kak monachu, vzojti na koster!

Sčast'ja ne trebuju. Laski ne nado.
Laskoj li gruboj tebja oskorblju?
Liš', kak chudožnik, smotrju za ogradu
Gde ty sryvaeš' cvety,— i ljublju!

Mimo, vsë mimo — ty vetrom gonima —
Solncem palima — Marija! Pozvol'
Vzoru — prozret' nad toboj cheruvima,
Serdcu — izvedat' sladčajšuju bol'!

Ticho ja v temnye kudri vpletaju
Tajnych stichov dragocennyj almaz.
Žadno vljublennoe serdce brosaju
V temnyj istočnik sijajuščich glaz.
