Tajna
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ya ne skazhu, ya ne priznayus`, V chyom tajna vechnaya moya, Eyo ya skry't` ot vsex starayus`, Boyus` doverchivosti ya. Vas ne zajmet ona, ne tronet, Kak skuchnoj povesti rasskaz; Tak pust`-zhe navsegda potonet Ona v dushe moej ot vas. Lyublyu... nevol`ny'j zvuk, sluchajnoj... Ne ver`te... nebo ya molyu Navek ostavit` grustnoj tajnoj: Kogo ya plamenno lyublyu!
Note: the italics attempt to reconstruct what was done typographically to
express the narrator's divulged secret Ja vas ljublju (I love you).
