But Listen, I Am Warning You Poem by Anna Akhmatova
But Listen, I Am Warning You
But listen, I am warning you
I'm living for the very last time.
Not as a swallow, nor a maple,
Not as a reed, nor as a star,
Not as spring water,
Nor as the toll of bells…
Will I return to trouble men
Nor will I vex their dreams again
With my insatiable moans.
the very last time! is the world very old gypsy? is this last time for world? Does the God destroy this nature for its oldest age? not sure I'm but poet warned- he'll not return to trouble men and won't vex those who dream (for peace of the world) !
To me this enigmatic poem is the voice of the poet calling to be heard.
