Anna Akhmatova

23 June 1889 – 5 March 1966 / Odessa

I Was Born In The Right Time, In Whole

I was born in the right time, in whole,
Only this time is one that is blessed,
But great God did not let my poor soul
Live without deceit on this earth.

And therefore, it's dark in my house,
And therefore, all of my friends,
Like sad birds, in the evening aroused,
Sing of love, that was never on land.
