Among the worlds

Among the worlds with gleaming stellar craft
The only Star, by name - from silver ashes -
I keep recalling. Not because I loved.
Because I languish here with other flashes.

I'm waiting for her brightening reply,
When doubting darkly, everything's unlively.
That's not because she gives the greatest light,
Because She IS the one I need no light with.

(Среди миров. И. Ф. Анненский, перевод на английский)
