by Ivan Alekseyevich Bunin (1870 - 1953)

Beru tvoju ruku i dolgo smotrju na neë
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Beru tvoju ruku i dolgo smotrju na neë,
Ty v sladkoj istome glaza podnimaeš' nesmelo:
Vot v ėtoj ruke - vse tvoë bytie,
JA vsju tebja čuvstvuju - dušu i telo. 

Čto nado eščë? Vozmožno l' blažennee byt'? 
No angel mjatežnyj, ves' burja i plamja,
Letjaščij nad mirom, čtob smertnoju strast'ju gubit',
Už mčitsja nad nami!
