Letter from mother
Why should I
Still now to think up,
About what now
I also need to write?
In front of me
On the table sullen
There is a letter,
What my mother sent me.
She writes to me:
"If you can,
Then come, my dear,
To us for Christmas.
Buy me a shawl,
Father buy the ports,
In our house
Great shortcomings.
I do not like fear,
That you are a poet,
What did you become friends with
With glory bad.
Much better
From an early age
You went to the field for suck.
Stara I became
And completely bad,
But if at home
There was you from the beginning,
That at me
There was now a daughter-in- law
And on the leg
I rocked the granddaughter.
But you are children
I lost it in the light,
His wife
Easily gave to another,
And without a family, without friendship,
No berth
You're with your head
He went into the tavern pool.
My beloved son,
What happened to you?
You were so gentle,
You were so humble.
And they all spoke with one another:
What a happy
Alexander Yesenin!
In you, our hopes
Did not come true,
And on the shower
From that pain and bitter,
What does my father have?
It was a vain thought,
So that for poetry
You took more money.
Though how many would you
Neither took,
You will not send them into the house,
And that's why it's so bitter
Speeches pour,
What do I know?
On your experience:
Poets do not give money.
I do not like fear,
That you are a poet,
What did you become friends with
With glory bad.
Much better
From an early age
You went to the field for suck.
Now all the sadness,
We live as in darkness.
We do not have a horse.
But if you were in the house,
That would be all,
And with your mind -
Chairmanship
In the Volpopol Committee.
Then I would live boldly,
Nobody would pull us,
And you would not know
Unnecessary fatigue.
I would force
Spin
Your wife,
And you as a son
He died of our old age. "
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I crumple the letter,
I'm plunging into horror.
There is no way out
In my path treasured?
But all that I think,
I'll tell you later.
I will tell
In the letter of reply ...
