by Vladimir Sergeyevich Solovyov (1853 - 1900)

Ne po vole sud`by', ne po my'sli lyudej
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Ne po vole sud`by', ne po my'sli lyudej.
No po my'sli tvoej ya tebya polyubil,
    I lyuboviyu veshhej moej
Ot nevidimoj zloby', ot tajny'x setej
YA tebya ograzhdal, ya tebya ogradil.

    Pust` sbirayutsya tuchi krugom,
Veet burej zloveshhej i sly'shitsya grom,
    Ne strashisya! Lyubvi moej shhit
    Ne padet pered temnoj sud`boj.
    Mezh nebesnoj grozoj i toboj
    On, kak vstar`, nepodvizhno stoit.

    A kogda pred toboyu i mnoj
Smert` pogasit vse svetochi zhizni zemnoj,
Plamen` vechnoj dushi, kak s Vostoka zvezda,
Povedet nas tuda, gde nemerknushhij svet,
    I pred Bogom ty' budesh` togda,
    Pered Bogom lyubvi - moj otvet.
