Muza (Pushkin, set by A. Glazunov, N. Medtner, S. Rachmaninov, A. Verstovsky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


V mladenchestve mojom ona menja ljubila
I semistvol'nuju cevnicu mne vruchila;
Ona vnimala mne s ulybkoj, i slegka
Po zvonkim skvazhinam pustogo trostnika
Uzhe najigryval ja slabymi perstami,
I gimny vazhnyje, vnushennyje bogami,
I pesni mirnyja frigijskikh pastukhov.

S utra do vechera v nemoj teni dubov
Prilezhno ja vnimal urokam devy tajnoj;
I raduja menja nagradoju sluchajnoj,
Otkinuv lokony ot milogo chela,
Sama iz ruk mojikh svirel' ona brala.
Trostnik byl ozhivlen bozhestvennym dykhan'jem
I serdce napolnjal svjatym ocharovan'jem.
