Nikolay Yakovlevich Agnivtsev. (№ 361665)

Do you remember the old days,
When all life has been going after strange?!
How were they festive
St. Petersburg on the Neva river!!
Do you remember the night, suddenly,
Shot red lightning
And in the morning they put Saint Petersburg
Youth carnation in the lapel?..
Ah, who could know, looking at that time
On the bicentennial of the giant,
What strikes his last hour
On Peter and Paul chimes!..
And now, some days came!
And exiles these days
Go away from their land
The heavy tread of centuries! . .
Do you remember the old days,
When all life has been going after strange?!
How were they festive
St. Petersburg on the Neva!..
