Innokenty Fedorovich Annensky Poems

Tell me what's happening to me?
Why is my heart beating so fervently?
why has this madness, like a wave,
Broken through the rock of habit?
...

In midst of waves, there are the silver beads
And scraped by time paints of the white enamel …
I so like the morns which autumn breeds,
...

My eyes forgot the heavens’ blue,
To them the sun’s dust is not gold,
But I live just one substance through,
...

Among the worlds, the sparkling spheres,
The name of One Star only I repeat...
It's not because I love Her dearly
But just because I pine with others.
...

The life’s chance and creative spirit
United painfully in you,
And midst the beauty’s hitting views
...

The blackened skies have reached the garden walk;
Yet my poor heart tonight cannot be not the restless…
...

Has time come? I’m fully ready.
If we’ve sinned – there’s no a chance…
We – to prisons, they – to gladness…
Give to children – sun and grass!
...

S. B. f-Shtein
There is such love that’s similar to smoke:
If it is bound – it’s intoxicating,
Receiving freedom – vanished, not awaiting…
...

In different clearness of rays,
In addling amalgam of visions
We always live in world’s things’ reign
With its triad of space division.
...
