Из‑под маски
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Из-под маски
Черны глазки
Дышат пламенем страстей!
Но сердечко,
Будто свечка,
Теплится едва у ней.
В разговоре
И во взоре
Жизнь, страданье и любовь!
Но на деле
Еле-еле
Льется вяло в жилах кровь.

Много блеска,
Шума, треска,
То потешные огни;
Но едва ли
Сожигали
Что когда-либо они.
И кокетка,
Как ракетка,
Вдруг взовьется, заблестит,
Но, сгорая,
И пустая
С неба на землю летит.
