Isstuplenije

Dukhi neba, dajte mne
Kryl'ja sokola skorej!
Ja v polnochnoj tishine
Polechu v ob"jat'ja k nej!

Sladostrastnymi rukami
Krugom sheji obov'jus',
Jejo chjornymi glazami
Zaljubujus', zagljazhus'!

Bezzabotno k grudi polnoj,
Kak pchela k cvetku, pril'nu,
Sladostrast'jem [usyplennoj]1,
Besprobudno ja zasnu.
