I SAID TO THE CUCKOO: 'TILL I DIE', by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: On my burning face.
Alternate Author Name(s): Akhmatova, Anna


I SAID to the cuckoo: "Till I die
Tell me how many years must pass!"
Pines were waving in the sky,
Yellow light fell on the grass.
Came no answer: all was still
In that leafy place.
As I walked home the wind blew chill
On my burning face.
