Alexander Blok - You sit alone and weep

You sit alone and weep –
     D’you hear?
I know: you wouldn’t sleep,
     Don’t fear.

The lights behind your door 
      Went out
I’m your forgotten hour -
       Devout.

I know, you feel unsafe,
        Delirious!
I'll meet you all the same,
       My dearest…   

You shouldn’t  be afraid
         Of memories…
You were so young and brave,
         And amorous! 

You ran to amber dawn,
          Hilarious!
You wouldn’t know you’re prone 
           To failures.

Now you become more wise,
          Don’t argue, please!
D’you recall sunrise    
           And ecstasies?

Why do you bend so low               
            In misery?
Be still:  the wind outside
            Is cithering! 

Please, answer to my plea:
        Was your day loud?
I brought you a bountiful gift –
          A kingly shroud!
