Innokenty Fedorovich Annensky Dark Poems

• 1. Sad Country
  Sad and made of copper
  The symbol we are wed,
  Even our comedies
  End a little sadlyâ?¦.
  ...
• 2. The Old Barrel Organ
  We almost lost our minds through that mad sky:
  It blinds us with its fire or its snow,
  And, baring teeth, like any beast of wild,
  Old winter hides in April very slow.
  ...
• 3. Bow And Strings
  What heavy, dark delirium!
  What dim and moonlit heights!
  To touch the violin for years
  And not to know the strings by light!
  ...
• 4. The Bow And The Strings
  How dark and heavyâ??s the deliriumâ??s embrace!
  How theyâ??re turbid under moon â?? the heights!
  To have touched Violin for so many years
  And not distinguish those Strings in light!
  ...
• 5. The Candles Are Brought In

  (When a dark penetrates in a house)
  Of another existence for us,
  Where we live in the other lifeâ??s phases?
  ...
• 6. Notturno
  Select a dark night and in a field, unpeopled, naked,
  dip into gray twilight.... May the air, having fanned, becalm,
  May the stars, winking, in the cold sky slumber on....
  Tell the heart not to count its thumps....
