Transcription:

You are no longer among the living,
You cannot rise from the snow.
Twenty-eight bayonets,
Five bullets.

A bitter new shirt
For my beloved I sewed.
The Russian earth loves, loves
Droplets of blood.

Anna Akhmatova, 1921

Judith Hemschemeyer, trans. and Roberta Reeder, ed., The Complete Poems of Anna Akhmatova (Boston: Zephyr Press, 1997).
