Boris Pasternak - There`ll be no one in the house...Boris Pasternak - There`ll be no one in the house...
Work rating: Low


There`ll be no one in the house Save for twilight. All alone, Winter`s day seen in the space that`s Made by curtains left undrawn. Only flash-past of the wet white Snowflake clusters, glimpsed and gone. Only roofs and snow, and save for Roofs and snow-no one at home. Once more, frost will trace its patterns, I`ll be haunted once again By my last year`s melancholy, By that other wintertime. Once more, I`ll be troubled by an Old unexpiated shame, And the icy firewood famine Will press on the window-pane. But the quiver of intrusion Through those curtains folds will run. Measuring silence with your footsteps, Like the future, in you`ll come. You`ll appear there in the doorway Wearing something white and plain, Something in the very stuff from Which the snowflakes too are sewn.
