Innokenty Fedorovich Annensky Light Poems
- 1. After The Concert
The blackened skies have reached the garden walk;
Yet my poor heart tonight cannot be not the restlessâ?¦
The lights that have been failed, the lost of sounds talk,
Are they the remnants of the dream in sadness?
... - 2. 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!
... - 3. 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!
... - 4. My Life's Burden...
My lifeâ??s burdenâ??s for me light and shone,
I wonâ??t you to be baffled or wound;
And not God, who had thought on a stone â??
I do pity the stone heâ??s found.
... - 5. Among Worlds
Among the worlds, the sparkling spheres,
The name of One Star only I repeat...
It's not because I love Her dearly
But just because I pine with others.
... - 6. Among The Worlds
Among worlds shone, amid glimmers,
A single star whose name I repeat....
Not so that I may come to love it,
But because I am weary of the rest.
