you are my reward
I know that you are my reward
For years of pain and trouble,
For never devoting myself
To earthly delights,
For not saying
To the beloved: "You are loved."
Because I forgave them all for everything,
You will be my angel.
[
Anna Akhmatova
(
1889-1966
), '
I know that you are my reward
', from
The Complete Poems of Anna Akhmatova
