by Vasily Ivanovich Tumansky (1802 - 1860)

Golubye glaza
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Bol'šie glaza, golubye glaza,
Vam junošu dolgo l' tomit'?
Vam dolgo l' sverkat', privlekat',
I potom Ljubvi bezotvetnymi byt'?

Po celym časam ja ljubujus' na vas,
Vaš svet blagosklonnej luny;
Gljažu i gotov ja dat' kljatvu sto raz:
Vy nežnogo čuvstva polny!

No tol'ko čto vspychnu, no tol'ko usta
Droža prolepečat: ljublju! -
Bespečnyj vaš blesk, tišina, čistota
Ot"emljut nadeždu moju!

Bol'šie glaza, golubye glaza,
O! sbros'te zavesy svoi!
Ot strastno, gluboko gorjaščej duši
Primite chot' iskru ljubvi!
