  • ***

    The early glory is like smoke,
    I wanted much more than this.
    In all my lovers I evoked
    The feelings of joy and bliss.
    One is still in love somewhere
    With a friend from long ago,
    The other stands in the city square,-
    A statue of bronze in the snow.

    ***

    Земная слава как дым,
    Не этого я просила.
    Любовникам всем моим
    Я счастие приносила.
    Один и сейчас живой,
    В свою подругу влюбленный,
    И бронзовым стал другой
    На площади оснеженной.

    Anna Akhmatova, 1914
