by Denis Vasilyevich Davydov (1784 - 1839)

O poščadi!‑ Začem volšebstvo lask i slov
Language: Russian (Русский) 
O poščadi!- Začem volšebstvo lask i slov,
   Začem sej vzgljad, začem sej vzdoch glubokij,
   Začem skol'zit neberežno pokrov
     S pleč belych i grudi vysokoj?
   O poščadi! JA gibnu bez togo,
     JA zamiraju, ja nemeju
Pri legkom šoroche prichoda tvoego;
Ja, zvuku slov tvoich vnimaja, cepeneju...
     No ty vošla - i drož' ljubvi,
I smert', i žizn', i bešenstvo želan'ja
     Begut po vspychnuvšej krovi,
     I razryvaetsja dychan'e!
     S toboj letjat, letjat časy,
Jazyk bezmolvstvuet... odni mečty i grezy,
I muka sladkaja, i voschiščen'ja slezy -
     I vzor vpilsja v tvoi krasy,
Kak žadnaja pčela v listok vesennej rozy!
