You'll live, but I'll not; perhaps, <br />The final turn is that. <br />Oh, how strongly grabs us <br />The secret plot of fate. <br /> <br />They differently shot us: <br />Each creature has its lot, <br />Each has its order, robust, -- <br />A wolf is always shot. <br /> <br />In freedom, wolves are grown, <br />But deal with them is short: <br />In grass, in ice, in snow, -- <br />A wolf is always shot. <br /> <br />Don't cry, oh, friend my dear, <br />If, in the hot or cold, <br />From tracks of wolves, you'll hear <br />My desperate recall.<br /><br />Anna Akhmatova<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-ll-live-but-i-ll-not-perhaps-3/
