by Afanasy Afanas'yevich Fet (1820 - 1892)

Esli ty' lyubish`, kak ya, beskonechno
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Esli ty' lyubish`, kak ya, beskonechno,
Esli zhivesh` ty' lyubov`yu i dy'shish`,
Ruku na grud` polozhi mne bespechno:
Serdcza bien`ya pod neyu usly'shish`.

O, ne schitaj ix! v nix, siloj volshebnoj,
Kazhdy'j pory'v perepolnen toboyu;
Tak v rodnike za strueyu celebnoj
Pryadaet vlaga goryachej strueyu.

Pej, otdavajsya minutam schastlivy'm,-
Trepet blazhenstva vsyu dushu obnimet;
Pej - i ne sprashivaj vzorom py'tlivy'm,
Skoro li serdce issyaknet, osty'net.
