by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)
A, ty dumal – ja tozhe takaja
Language: Russian (Русский)
A, ty dumal – ja tozhe takaja, Chto mozhno zabyt' menja, I chto broshus', molja i rydaja. Pod kopyta gnedogo konja. Ili stanu prosit' u znakharok V nagovornoj vode koreshok I prishlju tebe strashnyj podarok – Moj zavetnyj dushistyj platok. Bud' zhe prokljat. Ni stonom, ni vzgljadom Okajannoj dushi ne kosnus', No kljanus' tebe angel'skim sadom, Chudotvornoj ikonoj kljanus' I nochej nashikh plamennykh chadom – Ja k tebe nikogda ne vernus'.
