White Night

by Anna Akhmatova

  


Oh, I've not locked the door,

  I've not lit the candles,

  You know I'm too tired

  To think of sleep.

  See, how the fields die down,

  In the sunset gloom of firs,

  And I'm drunk on the sound

  Of your voice, echoing here.

  It's fine, that all's black,

  That life's – a cursed hell.

  O, that you'd come back –

  I was so certain, as well.
