by Zinaida Nikolayevna Gippius (1869 - 1945)

Серенада
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Из лунного тумана  
         Рождаются мечты. 
Пускай, моя Светлана,  
         Меня не любишь ты. 

Пусть будет робкий лепет  
         Неуловимо тих, 
Пусть тайным будет трепет 
         Незвучных струн моих.  

Награды не желая,  
         Душа моя горит. 
Мой голос, дорогая,  
         К тебе не долетит.  

Я счастье ненавижу,  
         Я радость не терплю. 
О, пусть тебя не вижу, 
         Тем глубже я люблю.  

Да будет то, что будет, 
         Светла печаль моя. 
С тобой нас Бог рассудит — 
         И к Богу ближе я.  

Ищу мою отраду  
         В себе — люблю тебя. 
И эту серенаду  
         Слагаю для себя.
