Тебе покорной? Ты сошел с ума! Покорна я одной Господней воле, Я не хочу ни трепета, ни боли, Мне муж — палач, а дом его — тюрьма. Но видишь ли! Ведь я пришла сама... Декабрь рождался, ветры выли в поле, И было так светло в твоей неволе, А за окошком сторожила тьма. Так птица о прозрачное стекло Всем телом бьется в зимнее ненастье, И кровь пятнает белое крыло. Теперь во мне спокойствие и счастье. Прощай, мой тихий, ты мне вечно мил За то, что в дом свой странницу пустил.
