      From: ibshambat@gmail.com              You walk, looking just like me,       Lowering your eyes.       I lowered them also!       Stop, passerby!              Read - having gathered a bouquet       Of many flowers -       That my name was Marina       And how old I was.              Don't think I'll appear with menace,       That a grave here is hidden..       I loved to laugh too much       When it was forbidden.              And blood to the skin was rushing,       And twisted, the curls of my hair..       I once was too, passerby!       Passerby, stop and stare!              Tear off for yourself a wild stem       And thereafter a berry:       There are no strawberries sweeter       Or bigger than at cemetery.              But only don't grimly stand there,       On the chest lowering your head.       Lightly about me remember,       Lightly about me forget.              How the ray alights you!       You're in golden dust dressed..       And at my voice from below       Do not you be distressed.              By Marina Tsvetayeva       Translated from Russian by Ilya Shambat              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
