.

I do not call and do not expect guests -

but lit candles

high and the window I see the east,

hoping the big star.

turned on the Tall candles,

put food on the straw,

kutya * The dish and drink of honey, -

and get drunk and drink alone.

Having put food on the straw,

spend my afternoon meeting

within this hell

quiet and clear.

1918

* kutya is a commemorative plate, made from cereals or rice, leading to the church and the cemetery or distributed among neighbors and beggars on the occasion of the Mass for the souls.
