Как велит простая учтивость, Подошел ко мне. Улыбнулся, Полуласково, полулениво Поцелуем руки коснулся. И загадочных, древних ликов На меня поглядели очи... Десять лет замираний и криков, Все мои бессонные ночи Я вложила в тихое слово И сказала его напрасно. Отошел ты, и стало снова На душе и пусто и ясно.
