To you I won’t gallantly bow down… (in English | англійською)

To you I won’t gallantly bow down,
Nor will I ever compliment you relentlessly,
Only in your gentle eyes my gaze is found -
In them I will drown my anxiety.

And when a chimerical veil
Swaddles earth in night so deep,
My heart longs for you still,
Still my spirit cannot sleep.

For so long white sphinxlike wings
Fan delirious visions’ glow,
And there you stand, tiny and charming,
And diaphanous, as a morning shadow.

And they burn, like cherries ripe and full,
Overpowering me and subdue,
Lips unkissed and sinful,
Eyes maddeningly blue.
