by Apollon Nikolayevich Maykov (1821 - 1897)

Poceluj
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Mezhdu mramornykh oblomkov,
Posredi srebristoj pyli,
Odnorukij kleftik teshet
Mramor nezhnyj, slovno pena,
Pribivajemaja morem.
Mimo devica prokhodit,
Zlatokudraja, chto solnce,
Govorit: «Zachem odnoju
Ty rabotajesh' rukoju?
Ty kuda zh deval druguju?»

«Poljubilas' mne devica,
Roza pervaja Stambula!
Poceluj odin gorjachij —
I mne ruku otrubili!
V svete jest' jeshchjo devica,
Zlatokudraja, chto solnce...
Poceluj odin by tol'ko —
I rubi druguju ruku!»
