This is no fantasy of a mad producer

Or something dreamed by Edgar Allan Poe.

As it dies away, I really hear

The tread of my jailors' boots.

In their drunken jackals' zeal

How vicious they are, and vile...

In my cold stone cell

Darkness descends on me.

Can a soul in hell be more lost?

I must drink my cup to the dregs,

But at least I am not alone

In my calvary.

A flagstone is my only cushion,

But Pushkin, sitting in one corner,

Sings me a song

About Gurzuf at night.

And, unseen by any guard,

Another priceless friend

Comes into my cell—

His name is Alexander Blok.
