by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Сжала руки под тёмной вуалью...
«Отчего ты сегодня бледна?»
— Оттого, что я терпкой печалью
Напоила его допьяна.

Как забуду? Он вышел, шатаясь,
Искривился мучительно рот...
Я сбежала, перил не касаясь,
Я бежала за ним до ворот.

Задыхаясь, я крикнула: «Шутка
Всё, что было. Уйдёшь, я умру».
Улыбнулся спокойно и жутко
И сказал мне: «Не стой на ветру».
