Косноязычно славивший меня Еще топтался на краю эстрады. От дыма сизого и тусклого огня Мы все уйти, конечно, были рады. Но в путаных словах вопрос зажжен, Зачем не стала я звездой любовной, И стыдной болью был преображен Над нами лик жестокий и бескровный. Люби меня, припоминай и плачь! Все плачущие не равны ль пред Богом? Прощай, прощай! меня ведет палач По голубым предутренним дорогам.
