'Requiem' Written By Marina Tsvetaeva, Russian Poetess, December 8,1913. Translated By Grace Green, December 10,2023. Poem by Grace G.A Green

How many fall in that abyss.
That day will come,
And I will fade away from face of earth.

And all will freeze
- what sang and fought, what shone and strived;
my green young eyes, my gentle voice,
and golden spark of wavy hair.

And will be life with daily bread and it's forgiveness,
And everything like under sky and I was never there!

Like children changed in their mimics, - and not so long provoke.
I love to watch how wood on fire - turn into earth.

Cello and Cavalcades in copse, and chapel bell in valley...
- And I, so real and alive on gentle Earth!

To all - who doesn't know limits,
to Strangers and our own? ! -
I make demand for faith
And ask for love.

For only truth - of yes or no…
As often feels too sad
And I am only twenty.

Because, for me it's direct fate -
Forgiveness of my resentments -
For all my rampant tenderness
And too proud looks.

For rapid stream of the events,
For truth, for game...
- But Listen! - Love me More,
- Because, soon I will be gone'.
