A widow in black -- the crying fall <br />Covers all hearts with a depressing cloud... <br />While her man's words are clearly recalled, <br />She will not stop her lamentations loud. <br />It will be so, until the snow puff <br />Will give a mercy to the pined and tired. <br />Forgetfulness of suffering and love -- <br />Though paid by life -- what more could be desired?<br /><br />Anna Akhmatova<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-widow-in-black/
