At daybreak

Вячеслав Чистяков
At daybreak

At the break of day
You could duly pray
For them, by the way,
You'd used to betray.

At the break of day
You did always say
You’d been far away,
Drawing a blank again.

At the break of day
You did not delay
To pretend to pay
For a game to play.

At the break of day
You did not take nay
For a glass to drain -
Vain to vail to the reign.
