За окном в тени мелькает

За окном в тени мелькает 
  Русая головка.
Ты не спишь, моё мученье!
  Ты не спишь, плутовка!

Выходи ж ко мне навстречу!
  С жаждой поцелуя
К сердцу сердце молодое
  Пламенно прижму я.

Ты не бойся, если звёзды
  Слишком ярко светят:
Я плащом тебя одену
  Так, что не заметят.

Если сторож нас окликнет,
  Назовись солдатом; 
Если спросят, с кем была ты?
  Отвечай, что с братом.

Под надзором богомолки 
  Ведь тюрьма наскучит,
А неволя поневоле 
  Хитрости научит.
