- Люблю́ когда́ лицо́ прекра́сной
Весенній воздухъ пламенитъ,
То кудре́й шолкъ взвѣваетъ сладостра́стный,
То въ я́мочки впива́ется ланитъ!- Ljubljú kogdá licó prekrásnoj
Vesennij vozdux plamenit,
To kudréj šolk vzvěvajet sladostrástnyj,
To v jámočki vpivájetsja lanit! - (please add an English translation of this quotation)
