by Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky (1865 - 1941)

Tyomny'j angel
Language: Russian (Русский) 
O tyomny'j angel odinochestva,
  Ty' veesh` vnov`,
I shepchesh` vnov` svoi prorochestva:
  «Ne ver` v lyubov`.

Uznal li golos moj tainstvenny'j?
  O, mily'j moj,
YA — angel detstva, drug edinstvenny'j,
  Vsegda — s toboj.

Moj vzor glubok, xotya ne radosten,
  No ne goryuj:
On budet xoloden i sladosten,
  Moj poceluj.

On veet vechnoyu razlukoyu,—
  I v tishine
Tebya, kak mat`, ya ubayukayu:
  Ko mne, ko mne!»

I sovershayutsya prorochestva:
  Temno vokrug.
O, strashny'j angel odinochestva,
  Poslednij drug,

Polny' mogil`noj bezmyatezhnost`yu
  Tvoi shagi.
Kogo lyublyu s bessmertnoj nezhnost`yu,
  I te — vragi!
