Чтобы мне легко, одинокой,

Отойти к последнему сну,

Прошуми высокой осокой

Про весну, про мою весну.

***

Bury me, bury me, wind!

None of my kin had arrived,

The evening above me dimmed

And the earth indistinctly sighed.

Like you, I was free and of course,

I couldn’t resist life’s charms

And now, wind, you see my corpse,

With no one to fold my arms.

Let this black wound recede

As the shroud of darkness spreads,

And command azure mist to read

Psalms up above my head.
