Muza 'Muse'
Russian source:
Alexander Pushkin
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 naigryval ja slabymi perstami,
I gimny vazhnye, vnushennye 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 moikh svirel' ona brala.
Trostnik byl ozhivlen bozhestvennym dykhan'em
I serdce napolnjal svjatym ocharovan'em.
