Впереди большак, подвода. Старый пес у колеса, - Впереди опять свобода, Степь, простор и небеса. Но притворщица отстала, Ловко семечки грызет, Говорит, что в сердце жало, Яд горючий унесет. Говорит... А что ж играет Яркий угольный зрачок? Солнцем, золотом сияет, Но бесстрастен и далёк. Сколько юбок! Ногу стройно Облегает башмачок. Стан струится беспокойно, И жемчужна смуглость щёк... Впереди большак, подвода, Старый пес у колеса, Счастье, молодость, свобода, Солнце, степи, небеса.
