by Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky (1865 - 1941)

Priznanije
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne uteshaj, ostav' moju pechal'
Netronutoj, velikoj i bezglasnoj.
Oboim nam poroj svobody zhal',
No cep' ljubvi porvat' khotim naprasno.

Ja chuvstvuju, chto tak ljubit' nel'zja,
Kak ja ljublju, chto tak ljubit' bezumno,
I strashno mne, kak budto smert', grozja,
Nad nami vejet blizko i besshumno…

No ja jeshche sil'nej tebja ljublju,
I beskonechno ja tebja zhaleju, —
Do uzhasa slivaju zhizn' moju,
Slivaju dushu ja s dushoj tvojeju.

I bez tebja ja ne umeju zhit'.
My otdali drug drugu slishkom mnogo,
I ja proshu, kak milosti, u Boga,
Chtob nauchil On serdce ne ljubit'.

No kak poroj ljubov' ni proklinaju —
I zhizn', i smert' s toboj ja razdelju,
Ne znajesh' ty, kak ja tebja ljublju,
Byt' mozhet, ja i sam jeshche ne znaju.

No slov ne nado: serdce tak polno,
Chto mozhem tol'ko tikhimi slezami
My vyplakat', chto ljudjam ne dano
Ni rasskazat', ni oblegchit' slovami.
