'Oh, and the day was cold,'

by Anna Akhmatova

  


Oh, and the day was cold,

  In Peter's wondrous city!

  The sunset a crimson bonfire,

  And slow shadows thickened.

  Let him not long for my eyes,

  Prophetic and unchanging,

  He will have a lifetime of verse,

  The prayers of my proud lips.
