She substituted, by a chance,
For empty "you" — the gentle "thou";
And all my happy dreams, at once,
In loving heart again resound.
In bliss and silence do I stay,
Unable to maintain my role:
"Oh, how sweet you are!" I say —
"How I love thee!" says my soul.

So beautiful. That strikes exactly the right note, the increase in intimacy indicated by the switch from the formal to the familiar address.
Must read some more Puskin. I thought he was a prose writer? -
Russian
this poem is original written in Russian, I wonder what will be the difference in 'You' and 'Thou' in original version. Hope some native russian can explain. -
Excellent!
Ah yes, the most subtle of life's details oft' a passion prompt to the tender heart. -
Excellent...love classical poetry... good luck...

Great!!!
This is a very deep n philosophical approach adopted by Pushkin the great
Pretending love is something different from real love… invites to think!!!!
