by Dante Alighieri (1265 - 1321)
Translation by Lev L'vovich Kobylinsky (1889 - 1947), as Ellis

В простор небес безбрежный ускользая
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
В простор небес безбрежный ускользая,
В блаженный край, где ангелы святые
Вкушают мир в долине безмятежной,
Ты вознеслась, навеки покидая прекрасных жён,
Но не земные беды, не летний зной,
Не холод бури снежной нас разлучил
С твоей душою нежной,
В пределы рая Биче увлекая...
Но сам Творец в безмолвном
Восхищенье призвал своё бессмертное творенье,
К бесплотным сонмам Биче приобщая...
Чтоб нашей жизни горе и волненье
Твоей души безгрешной не коснулись,
Твои глаза последним сном сомкнулись.
