Zatoki

Promienie słońca schowały
Gdzieś za polami obiecanymi
I zatoki ciche się stały
Granatowymi i pachnącymi.

Śpiąco drgnęła trzcina,
Nietoperzy przyszła godzina,
Ryba w głębinie cicho śpi...
...I do domu wrócili ci,
Którzy dom mają
Z oknami błękitnymi,
Z krzesłami dawnymi,
I w nim odpoczywają.

Tylko ja pozostałem na dworze
Senną zatokę podziwiać,
Gdzie dniem tak radośnie pływać,
A wieczorem płakać,
Dlatego, że uwielbiam Ciebie, mój Boże.

Acrostic

Addis Ababa, city of roses. / Near the bank of transparent streams, / No earthly devas brought you here, / A diamond, amidst gloomy gorges. / / Armidin garden ... There a pilgrim / Keeps his oath of obscure love / (Mind, we all bow before him), / And the roses cloy, the roses red. ...

The joyful brotherhood

In eastern Russia are nights when the full moon distils strange perfume from the rank grasses; when the - God knows what - toads and perhaps night birds cry in weird, wailing tones; when the shadows of the trees stir like dying giants. If at the same time a millstream rumbles noisily past and lovers...

Have thou mercy! Enough of this pain and frustration...

Have thou mercy! Enough of this pain and frustration, / Let it end, this dark torture of shame and despair! / I forsook my self-will and its deadly temptations / I am tamed, thine for good. For my fate I don’t care. / / We’ve been lost for too long in the depths of the ocean, ...

The Octave

No whisper of a midnight distance, / Nor when a mother sang a tune - / We've never understood an instance, / Which's worth being better understood. / The symbol of the Father's greatness - / A kind of gracious advice - / To you, the Poet, is presented: / Your tongue is tied, your speec...

War

To M. M. Chichagov / / Like a dog that strains on heavy halter / Rifle yaps across the forest now, / Bee-like, buzzing shrapnel doesn’t falter, / Gathering bright red honey from the bough. / / In the distance, though, "Hurrah" is sounding / Like the reapers’ singing wh...
