Беру твою руку и долго смотрю на неё, Ты в сладкой истоме глаза поднимаешь несмело: Вот в этой руке - все твоё бытие, Я всю тебя чувствую - душу и тело. Что надо ещё? Возможно ль блаженнее быть? Но ангел мятежный, весь буря и пламя, Летящий над миром, чтоб смертною страстью губить, Уж мчится над нами!
