У могилы

Хоронил я тебя, и, тоскуя,
Я растил на могиле цветы,
Но в лазури, звеня и ликуя,
Трепетала, блаженная, ты. 
 
И к родимой земле я клонился,
И уйти за тобою хотел,
Но, когда я рыдал и молился,
Звонкий смех твой ко мне долетел. 
 
Похоронные слёзы напрасны –-
Ты трепещешь, смеёшься, жива!
И растут на могиле прекрасной
Не цветы –- огневые слова!
