Here you will find the Poem My Life's Burden... of poet Innokentii Fedorovich Annensky

My Life's Burden...

My life?s burden?s for me light and shone,
I won?t you to be baffled or wound;
And not God, who had thought on a stone ?
I do pity the stone he?s found.

I do pity the violet, faded -
Just in vain ? just forgot among pages,
And the mist, by which glass has been laden,
Then ? dissolved by hot tears for ages.

Not the mad woman?s pain, but the willow
Is awaking my heart?s even sadness,
`Cause, while lulling this pain on leaves? pillows,
It was tired and cut by winds merciless.
