Духи неба, дайте мне
Language: Russian (Русский)
Духи неба, дайте мне Крылья сокола скорей! Я в полночной тишине Полечу в объятья к ней! Сладострастными руками Кругом шеи обовьюсь, Её чёрными глазами Залюбуюсь, загляжусь! Беззаботно к груди полной, Как пчела к цветку, прильну, Сладострастьем [усыпленной]1, Беспробудно я засну.
