In a Dream
by Anna Akhmatova
The dark and solid separation
I’m carrying equally with you.
Why are you crying? Come
Give me your hand instead--
Promise again
To come in dreams.
You and I
Are like grief and the mountain--
We will not meet
In this world.
But sometimes
Will you send across the stars
A sign?
