Christ and the Lord! I thirst for marvel <br />Now, here, as the day would start! <br />The life is like a book to me, <br />So let me die. Let me depart. <br /> <br />You're wise, and sternly 'Now be patient, <br />Your time's not ripe' you will not say. <br />Yourself you gave me - too much now! <br />I thirst at once - for every way! <br /> <br />I want it all: with soul of gypsy <br />To run to plunder with a song, <br />To suffer for all near an organ, <br />To run to war, an Amazon; <br /> <br />To divine stars in a black tower <br />The kids through shadows to lead… <br />That yesterday would be a legend, <br />That each and every day be mad! <br /> <br />I love the cross, the silk, the helmet, <br />The minute's trace of soul of mine.. <br />You gave me childhood - better than fiction <br />Now let me die at seventeen!<br /><br />Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prayer-108/
