PASSACALIA

Among the guests in one shirt
Petrov stood thoughtfully.
The guests were silent. On the fireplace
an iron thermometer hung.
The guests were silent. Above the fireplace
a hunting horn hung.
Petrov was standing. The clock was knocking.
The fire shivered in the fireplace.
And the gloomy guests were silent.
Petrov was standing. The fireplace cracked.
The clock showed eight.
The iron thermometer sparkled.
The clock was mysteriously silent.
The fire shivered in the fireplace.
Petrov sat thoughtfully
on the stool. Suddenly a call
in the hall
and clicked aglitsky castle.
Petrov jumped up and the guests, too.
The hunting horn blows.
Petrov shouts: "Oh God, God!" -
and falls to the floor, killed.
And the guests rush and cry
the iron thermometer is shaking
jumping through Petrov with a cry
and at the door they carry a terrible coffin.
And, corking Petrov in a coffin,
go away screaming "Done!"
