by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)
Translation © by Marie Marčanová (1892 - 1979)

А, ты думал – я тоже такая
Language: Russian (Русский) 
А, ты думал – я тоже такая,
Что можно забыть меня,
И что брошусь, моля и рыдая.
Под копыта гнедого коня.

Или стану просить у знахарок
В наговорной воде корешок
И пришлю тебе страшный подарок –
Мой заветный душистый платок.

Будь же проклят. Ни стоном, ни взглядом
Окаянной души не коснусь,
Но клянусь тебе ангельским садом,
Чудотворной иконой клянусь
И ночей наших пламенных чадом –
Я к тебе никогда не вернусь.
