Скучай
Language: Russian (Русский)
Скучай. Ты создана для скуки. Без жгучих чувств отрады нет, Как нет возврата без разлуки, Как без боренья нет побед. Скучай. Скучай, словам любви внимая В тиши сердечной пустоты, Приветом лживым отвечая На правду девственной мечты. Скучай, с рожденья до могилы Заране путь начертан твой, По капле ты истратишь силы, Потом умрёшь - и Бог с тобой, И Бог с тобой!
