Сумерки

Тени сизые смесились,
Цвет поблекнул, звук уснул
Жизнь, движенье разрешились
В сумрак зыбкий, в дальний гул...

Мотылька полет незримый
Слышен в воздухе ночном...
Час тоски невыразимой!
Всё во мне, и я во всём...

Сумрак тихий, сумрак сонный,
Лейся в глубь моей души,
Тихий, томний, благовонный,
Всё залей и утиши,

Чувства - мглой самозабвенья,
Переполни через край!
Дай вкусить уничтоженья,
С миром дремлющим смешай!
