Poems in Russian
Сероглазый корольСлава тебе, безысходная боль! Умер вчера сероглазый король Вечер осенний былдушен и ал, Муж мой, вернувшись, спокойно сказал "Знаешь, с охоты егопринесли, Тело у старого дуба нашли. Жаль королеву. Такоймолодой!... За ночь одну она сталаседой". Трубку свою на каминенашел И на работу ночнуюушел. Дочку мою я сейчас разбужу, В серые глазки ее погляжу. А за окном шелестят тополя "Нет на земле твоегокороля..." 11 декабря 1910, Царское Село Anna Akhmatova | Gray-Eyed KingGlory to you, inescapable pain! The gray-eyed king died yesterday. The autumn evening was sultry and red, My husband returned and quietly said ou know, they brought him back from the hunt, They found his corpse by the old oak tree. I pity the queen. He was so young! In just one night her hair turned white. He found his pipe on the mantelpiece And went out to his nighttime shift. I'll go and wake my daughter now, I'll look into her little gray eyes. While outside the rustling poplars say our king is no longer upon this earth... 11 December 1910, Tsarskoe Selo Anna Akhmatova |
