by Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok (1880 - 1921)

Devushka iz Spoleto
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Stroen tvoj stan, kak cerkovny'e svechi.
Vzor tvoj — mechami pronzayushhij vzor.
Deva, ne zhdu oslepitel`noj vstrechi —
Daj, kak monaxu, vzojti na koster!

Schast`ya ne trebuyu. Laski ne nado.
Laskoj li gruboj tebya oskorblyu?
Lish`, kak xudozhnik, smotryu za ogradu
Gde ty' sry'vaesh` czvety',— i lyublyu!

Mimo, vsyo mimo — ty' vetrom gonima —
Solncem palima — Mariya! Pozvol`
Vzoru — prozret` nad toboj xeruvima,
Serdczu — izvedat` sladchajshuyu bol`!

Tixo ya v temny'e kudri vpletayu
Tajny'x stixov dragocenny'j almaz.
Zhadno vlyublennoe serdce brosayu
V temny'j istochnik siyayushhix glaz.
