Alexander Blok
Servus-Reginae

Don’t send for me. No need to call,
        I’ll come inside.
Onto my knees, I’ll quickly fall
        Down by your side.

I’ll tamely wait for your commands
        And hear them through,
And treasure every single chance
        Of meeting you.

Your servant, and your dear, at times.
        Your passion’s wave
Has conquered me. And always, I’m —
        Your humble slave.
