by Mirra (Mariya) Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya (1869 - 1905)

Так долго ждать ‑ и потерять так скоро
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Так долго ждать - и потерять так скоро.
Что может быть ужасней и больней?
И без надежд, без вздоха и укора,
Смотреть вослед непоправимых дней.

Бессмертника цветами золотыми
Моей любви зацвел нетленный сад.
В нем - бледных роз и лилий аромат
И блеск зарниц над чащами густыми.

Лишь захоти - и я тебе сплету
В один венок двойную красоту:
Земной любви земное упоенье
И гимн души, раскрывшейся едва.

Но ты молчишь. - И жизнь моя мертва.
И в заблужденьях я ищу забвенье.
