V molchan'ji nochi tajnoj

O, dolgo budu ja, v molchan'ji nochi tajnoj,
Kovarnyj lepet tvoj, ulybku, vzor sluchajnyj,
Perstam poslushnuju [volos]1 gustuju prjad',
Iz myslej izgonjat', i snova prizyvat';
Dysha poryvisto, odin, nikem ne zrimyj,
Dosady i styda rumjanami palimyj,
Iskat' khotja odnoj zagadochnoj cherty
V slovakh, kotorye proiznosila ty;
Sheptat' i popravljat' bylyje vyrazhen'ja
Rechej mojikh s toboj, ispolnennykh smushchen'ja,
I v op'janenii, naperekor umu,
Zavetnym imenem budit' nochnuju [mglu]2.
