Preface

Alas, God did not give me
 The gift of a real poet;
 I'm not as brilliant as Block,
 And I don't have the lyricism of FET;
 I can't, as Pushkin could –
 As any standard of the poet, –
 Strait a series of wonderful lines
 Light flows into people's hearts.
 
 The Almighty God did not wish it
 Bless me for that…
 Don't expect too bright lines
 From a too dim poet!..
 
 Oh, if God would give me
 The gift OF a real poet!
 Then I could have done it on my own time –
 As a sign of love and piety –
 To your hearts and souls for the future
 Sing a lot of wonderful lines,
 Full of warmth and light, –
 Beautiful lines!.. And so-only THIS…
