Love

by Anna Akhmatova

  


Heart, we will forget him!Heart-shaped lock, tobacco label, 1887

  A snake, it coils

  Bewitching the heart.

  Day after day, coos

  A dove on the white sill.

  A bright flash in frost,

  Drowsy night-scented stock…

  Yet, sure and secret,

  It's far from peace and joy.

  It knows how to weep sweetly

  In the violin's yearning prayer;

  And is fearfully divined

  In a stranger's smile.
