“Cypress casket”
1. Lilac haze
Our street is covered with snow,
There is a lilac haze in the snow.
She just glanced out of the window,
And I realized that I loved her for a long time.
I prayed for her, the lilac haze:
“Pogosti, stay with me in my corner,
Do not yearn for my ancient razvei,

But only from a distance did I hear her answer:

Where the thin ice is
blossoming over the pool, There I’ll chant a minute, ending yo,
And by the stove, no one of us I’ve seen…
Only those who are free and deleted. “
