Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev Life Poems

  • 1.
    I wait for, full of thoughts provoking,
    But not a gay and pretty wife,
    Not the sincere and gentle talking
    About the old time and life.
    ...
  • 2.
    Birth of the word is by agony molded,
    Through earthly life it is quietly going,
    It is a stranger, which drinks from the golden
    Pitcher the drops of the savagesâ?? mourning.

    I know: to the trees, but not to us,
    Perfection of the life is given, whole.

    Look at the moon in the midst of
    Vastly magnificent sky bed;

    ...

    By people of the days that gone â??
    Thereâ??s written on its tablet sacred
    That Love and Life is one.
    ...

    I know her, her bitter silence,
    Her tiredness of her words and cries,
    Lives in the secret changing brightness
    Of widened pupils of her eyes.

Bliss Carman and Richard Hovey Poem
In A Copy Of Browning
 by Bliss Carman and Richard Hovey

Browning, old fellow,
Your leaves grow yellow,
Beginning to mellow

Your cover is wrinkled,
