Mikhail Lermontov - Some words that I know

Виктор Постников
Some words that I know
Might seem trifling, or dim,
But deeply they move
My soulful within.   

How fully they sound
With the wildest of powers ! 
They cry tears of parting,
They tremble like lovers. 
   
Amid the world’s bustle,
Wherever I go,
I’ll spot these confessions, 
These words I will know;   
And cutting the prayer,
I’ll rush to their sound,
And fleeing the battle,
For them I’ll be bound;
They breathe with a promise,
With life they abound,
They’re open to many, -   
Yet one can expound.
