It never dims, that magic moment... Pushkin...

It never dims, that magic moment:
T’was you who came before my eyes:
Of all things pure - a fleeting omen,
The truth of Beauty in disguise.

Among my sorrows never ending,
Among the empty bustling days,
I heard your voice: so lasting, tender,
And dreamt your dear unearthly face.

But years passed. The raging tempest
Dispelled my dreams, my loyal ways:
And I forgot your voice so tender,
Your ever dear unearthly face.

My days, imprisoned my stagnation,
Were creeping by, no sun above;
No touch divine, or inspiration;
No gentle tears, life or love.

My soul awakened on its morning:
Again you came before my eyes:
Of all things pure a fleeting omen,
The truth of Beauty in disguise.

The heart – in pulsing exaltation –
Has found anew your grace and light:
That touch divine, that inspiration,
Those gentle tears, love and life.
