I watch Inesilla <br />Thy window beneath, <br />Deep slumbers the villa <br />In night's dusky sheath. <br /> <br />Enamoured I linger, <br />Close mantled, for thee-- <br />With sword and with guitar, <br />O look once on me! <br /> <br />Art sleeping? Wilt wake thee <br />Guitar tones so light? <br />The argus-eyed greybeard <br />My swift sword shall smite. <br /> <br />The ladder of ropes <br />Throw me fearlessly now! <br />Dost falter? Hast thou, Sweet, <br />Been false to thy vow? <br /> <br />I watch Inesilla <br />Thy window beneath, <br />Deep slumbers the villa <br />In night's dusky sheath!<br /><br />Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-serenade-3/
