Not believing in the Resurrection | B |
we strolled in the cemetery | C |
You know the earth everywhere | D |
reminds me of those hills | E |

where Russia breaks off | F |
above the black deaf sea | C |

The broad meadow runs away | G |
from the monastery's slopes | H |
I really didn't want to go so far | I |
south of Vladimir's expanse | J |
but to stay in this wooded dark | K |
and holy foolish place with such a dizzy nun | B |
means disaster is in store | L |

III | A |
- | |
I kiss the sunburned elbow | M |
and a waxen patch of forehead | N |
I know it is still white | O |
under the tawny golden locks | P |
I kiss the wrist where a bracelet | Q |
has left a white band | R |
The flaming summer of the Taurides | P |
causes such marvels | P |

How quickly you tanned | R |
came up and kissed the poor Savior | S |
couldn't tear yourself away | G |
but in Moscow you were proud | T |
Only the name is left for us | P |
a marvelous drawn out sound | U |
Take this sand being poured | V |
with my hands | P |
