Celebrate our anniversary – can’t you see <br />tonight the snowy night of our first winter <br />comes back again in every road and tree - <br />that winter night of diamantine splendour. <br /> <br />Steam is pouring out of yellow stables, <br />the Moika river’s sinking under snow, <br />the moonlight’s misted as it is in fables, <br />and where we are heading – I don’t know. <br /> <br />There are icebergs on the Marsovo Pole. <br />The Lebyazh’ya’s crazed with crystal art..... <br />Whose soul can compare with my soul, <br />if joy and fear are in my heart? - <br /> <br />And if your voice, a marvellous bird’s, <br />quivers at my shoulder, in the night, <br />and the snow shines with a silver light, <br />warmed by a sudden ray, by your words?<br /><br />Anna Akhmatova<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/celebrate/
