О, Родина! В неярком блеске
Я взором трепетным ловлю
Твои проселки, перелески -
Все, что без памяти люблю:
И шорох рощи белоствольной,
И синий дым в дали пустой,
И ржавый крест над колокольней,
И низкий холмик со звездой...
Мои обиды и прощенья
Сгорят, как старое жнивье.
В тебе одной - и утешенье
И исцеление мое.
