Alexander Blok

***
Let the dawn keep shining out,
Let the warbler sing at night,
How I wish I was allowed
To embrace and hold you tight!

Our boat will float with blessing
In the canes with rustling leaves,
You will cling to me, caressing,
Heated passion on your lips.

Sing, my love, and let the air
Flow with the amazing song,
You're more beautiful and fair
Than the bird that sings along.

May 1898 (March 3, 1921)
