Ночи безумные, ночи бессонные,
Речи несвязные, взоры усталые...
Ночи, последним огнем озаренные,
Осени мёртвой цветы запоздалые!

Пусть даже время рукой беспощадною
Мне указало, что было в вас ложного,
Всё же лечу я к вам памятью жадною,
В прошлом ответа ищу невозможного...

Вкрадчивым шепотом вы заглушаете
Звуки дневные, несносные, шумные... 
В тихую ночь вы мой сон отгоняете,
Ночи бессонные, ночи безумные!
