О, вещая душа моя

О, вещая душа моя!
О сердце, полное тревоги,
О, как ты бьёшься на пороге
Как бы двойного бытия! ...

Так, ты жилица двух миров,
Твой день - болезненный и страстный,
Твой сон - пророчески-неясный,
Как откровение духов...

Пускай страдальческую грудь
Волнуют страсти роковые -
Душа готова, как Мария,
К ногам Христа навек прильнуть.
