PoemDeparture
Author / PoetAnna Akhmatova
TagsLandscape, Love, Remembrance, Twilight

Although this land is not my own,
I will remember its inland sea
and the waters that are so cold
the sand as white
as old bones, the pine trees
strangely red where the sun comes down.

I cannot say if it is our love,
or the day, that is ending.
