Thoughts of the sunlight fainter and dimmer, <br />And parched the grass. <br />Breezes, freh breezes at dawn's early shimmer, <br />Flit by repass. <br /> <br />Look at the willows against a clear heaven, <br />Cloudless and wide. <br />Better, Far better not to be given <br />Thee for thy bride! <br /> <br />Thoughts of the daylight dimmer and fainter. <br />Oh, darkness! Gloom! <br />Once again . . . Morning, <br />Tell me if winter is come.<br /><br />Anna Akhmatova<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thoughts-of-the-sunlight/
