by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

Kak solominkoj, p`yosh` moyu dushu

Kak solominkoj, p`yosh` moyu dushu.
Znayu, vkus eyo gorek i xmelen.
No ya py'tku mol`boj ne narushu.
O, pokoj moj mnogonedelen.

Kogda konchish`, skazhi. Ne pechal`no,
Chto dushi moej net na svete.
YA pojdu dorogoj nedal`nej
Posmotret`, kak igrayut deti.

Na kustax zaczvetaet kry'zhovnik,
I vezut kirpichi za ogradoj.
Kto ty': brat moj ili lyubovnik,
YA ne pomnyu, i pomnit` ne nado.

Kak svetlo zdes` i kak bespriyutno,
Otdy'xaet ustaloe telo…
A proxozhie dumayut smutno:
Verno, tol`ko vchera ovdovela.
