Story behind the song
Famous poem by one of the great poets of Russia, Anna Ahkmatova. There it is, the house where your lover lives...perhaps he is still in bed, recovering from a cold, or an all night bout reveling with friends...but you are shy, and do not go to the door and knock to be let in...what do you do...? If you are Anna Ahkmatova, soon to be recognized as the great Poetess of Russia, it is clear what you do next....you cast a magic spell!

Lyrics
Poem by Anna Ahkmatova (1889-1966) I seldom think of you And your uncaptured fate, But my heart has shrewdly not erased Our insignificant meeting. Deliberately I walk by your lovely home, Your beautiful home over the turbid river, But I know that to disturb the sun filled Rays of your rest would be bitter. Though it is not you who Bends over my ears, imploring love, Though it is not by your golden verses My lanquor is to be immortilized, -- Over the future I secretly cast a spell, And if the evening be quite azure, I sense the second meeting, The inevitable meeting with you. (1913) (Composer's own translation, the written music composition is in Russian)
