by Vladislav Felitsianovich Khodasevich (1886 - 1939)

Воспоминание
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Здесь, у этого колодца,
Поднесла ты мне две розы.
Я боялся страсти томной —
Алых роз твоих не принял.

Я сказал: «Прости, Алина,
Мне к лицу венок из лавров
Да серебряные розы
Размышлений и мечтаний».

Больше нет Алины милой,
Пересох давно колодец,
Я ж лелею одиноко
Голубую розу — старость.

Скоро в домик мой сойдутся
Все соседи и соседки
Посмотреть, как я забылся
С белой, томной розой смерти.
