My dear Felissochka! My most exquisite!
I give you «Minstrel» and all my dreams.
You are beloved by all thats delicate,
My sweet Felissa — My violin!
May to the crude one you be an egotist —
I care not: You are most loved by me!
My most talented! My sweet Felissochka!
My one sought after! My destiny!
The hate of sin here is love of marriage:
You like it when I say «bride» to you.
Symbol of Hestia! Little Hestochka!
In you again I will find my youth!

Моя Таланточка! Моя Фелиссочка!
Моя Исканная! Моя Судьба!
Тебе лишь сладко мне сказать: «Невесточка», —
Здесь браконенависть — браколюбовь…
О, символ Эстии, ребенок-Эсточка,
С тобою молодость познал я вновь!

«Do not elude — I will not sue / For your heart pain, nor secret worrying, / I want to plunge myself in mourning / And to repeat that I love you. / / It is suffice for me to fly / To you like waves run by the water — / To kiss cold granite I have gotten, / To kiss and after ...»
«The sounds have calmed down in the wood, / Soon the sunrays will stop be shining either... / My beautiful friend, oh, how much I would / Be glad to see you coming to me hither! Oh, how soon the charming childish word / To frightfulness will turn intense impatience? / Oh, how soon, li...»
