by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)
Sleza drožit v tvoëm revnivom vzore
Language: Russian (Русский)
Sleza drožit v tvoëm revnivom vzore, O, ne grusti, ty vsë mne doroga, No ja ljubit' mogu liš' na prostore, Moju ljubov', širokuju kak more, Vmestit' ne [mogut žizni]1 berega. Kogda Glagola tvorčeskaja sila Tolpy mirov vozzvala iz noči, Ljubov' ich vse, kak solnce, ozarila, I liš' na zemlju k nam eë svetila Nischodjat porozn' redkie luči. I porozn' ich otyskivaja žadno, My lovim otblesk večnoj krasoty; Nam vest'ju les o nej šumit otradnoj, O nej potok gremit struëju chladnoj I govorjat, kačajasja, cvety. I ljubim my ljubov'ju razdroblennoj I tichij šëpot verby nad ruč'ëm, I miloj devy vzor, na nas sklonennyj, I zvëzdnyj blesk, i vse krasy vselennoj, I ničego my vmeste ne sol'ëm. No ne grusti, zemnoe minet gore, Poždi eščë, nevolja nedolga -- V odnu ljubov' my vse sol'ëmsja vskore, V odnu ljubov', širokuju kak more, Čto ne [vmestjat]3 zemnye berega.
P. Tchaikovsky sets stanzas 1, 5
