ANNA AKHMATOVA IN IMAGES AND WORDS OF OTHERS

AND HERSELF:

*OF THE CUCKOO I INQUIRED

Of the cuckoo I inquired

How many years I have left for living

The tops of the pine trees trembled

A yellow sunbean fell on the sward

But no sound disturbed the clearing

I then walked homeward

And the cool breeze fondled

My brow which was burning

ANNA AKHMATOVA
