Translation to:en

Akhmatovui (Ахматовой)

Кем полосынька твояНынче выжнется?Чернокосынька моя!Чернокнижница!

Дни полночные твои,Век твой таборный...Все работнички твоиРазом забраны.

Где сподручники твои,Те сподвижнички?Белорученька моя,Чернокнижница!

Не загладить тех могилСлезой, славою.Один заживо ходил —Как удавленный.

Другой к стеночке пошелИскать прибыли.(И гордец же был-сокол!)Разом выбыли.

Высоко твои братья!Не докличешься!Яснооконька моя,Чернокнижница!

А из тучи-то (хвала —Диво дивное!)Соколиная стрела,Голубиная...

Знать, в два перышка тебеПишут тамотка,Знать, уж в скорости тебеВыйдет грамотка:

— Будет крылышки трепатьО булыжники!Чернокрылонька моя!Чернокнижница!

To Akhmatova

By whom will your patchBe harvested now?Oh, my black-haired one!Black magician!

Your midnight days,Your century of Gypsy life...All your little workersWere snatched away at once.

Where are all your supporters,Those comrades-in-arms?Oh, my white-armed one,Black magician!

You can't atone for those gravesWith tears or glory.One walked about, still living,As though he had been strangled.

Another went up to a wallLooking for profit.(And he was a proud one, like a falcon!)They took them both out right away.

Exalted are your brothers!A cry won't escape you!Oh, my clear-eyed one,Black magician!

And then from the clouds (praiseBe to this wonder of wonders!)Two arrows fall: one of falcon,The other of a dove...

Know, that people are writing from up thereTo you with two quills,Know, that you'll soon receiveA formal commendation:

-- Wings will flutterAbout the cobblestones!Oh, my black-winged one!Black magician!
