Analysis of In Dream
Anna Akhmatova 1889 (Odessa) – 1966 (Moscow)
Black and enduring separation
I share equally with you.
Why weep? Give me your hand,
Promise me you will come again.
You and I are like high
Mountains and we can't move closer.
Just send me word
At midnight sometime through the stars.
