Listen to the dream of night,  
do not miss the falling star…  
along my streets, an Invisible Shade,  
I shall walk behind you…  
Look (I pine so in the desert  
far from beloved places…):  
is the water in the Neva still blue?  
Has the cross not yet been taken from the Angel's hands?

*Literal translation*

Cherubina de Gabriak, 1928  
\*Pseudonym and mystification of the Russian noblewoman Elizaveta Ivanovna Dmitrieva (1887-1928)
