Anna Akhmatova

Here you will find the Poem My hands clasped under a veil of poet Anna Akhmatova

My hands clasped under a veil

My hands clasped under a veil, dim and hazy?
'Why are you so pale and upset?'
That?s because I today made him crazy
With the sour wine of regret.

Can't forget! He got out, astound,
With his mouth distorted by pain...
I, not touching the railing, ran down,
I was running to him till the lane.

Fully choked, I cried, 'That's a joke --
All that was. You get out, I'll die.'
And he smiled very calmly, like stroke:
'It is windy right here -- pass by.'
