========
The original name of the poem is "K. B." Addressed to Baroness A. M. Krudener (1808-1888), whom Tyutchev met in 1822 in Bavaria, in Munich, and with which he was fascinated. The romance was preserved in the memory of singer Ivan Kozlovsky (b. 1900), who recorded it by ear and performed it in Soviet times, and the author of the melody was considered lost for a long time. However, it is installed - this is V. S. Sheremetev; in 1898 his melody was crafted by A. A. Spiro. It was this treatment that Kozlovsky heard and remembered.

K. B.
I met you - and all the past
In an obsolete heart revived;
I remembered the golden time -
And my heart felt so warm ...
Like late autumn at times
There are days, sometimes an hour
When suddenly spring comes
And something will strike us, -
So, all is fanned by a blow
Those years of spiritual fullness,
With long forgotten rapture
I look at the cute features ...
Like after centuries of separation
I look at you, as if in a dream, -
And now - sounds became more audible,
Not silent in me ...
There’s more than one memory
Then life spoke again, -
And the same charm in you,
And there is love in my soul! ..
July 26, 1870
