'Like one betrothed I receive'

by Anna Akhmatova

  


Like one betrothed I receive

  A letter at each day's end,

  And late at night conceive

  An answer for my friend.

  'On my journey to the dark,

  I'm staying with white death.

  Do no harm, my gentle one,

  To anyone on earth.'

  Brighter, a star is shining

  Between that pair of trees,

  Calmly promising

  That what I dream will be.
