by Aleksandr Fomich Vel'tman (1800 - 1870)
Tajna
Language: Russian (Русский)
Ja ne skazhu, ja ne priznajus', V chjom tajna vechnaja moja, Jejo ja skryt' ot vsekh starajus', Bojus' doverchivosti ja. Vas ne zajmet ona, ne tronet, Kak skuchnoj povesti rasskaz; Tak pust'-zhe navsegda potonet Ona v dushe mojej ot vas. Ljublju... nevol'nyj zvuk, sluchajnoj... Ne ver'te... nebo ja molju Navek ostavit' grustnoj tajnoj: Kogo ja plamenno ljublju!
Note: the italics attempt to reconstruct what was done typographically to
express the narrator's divulged secret Ja vas ljublju (I love you).
