Poems by Osip Mandelshtam
1908
- Children’s books, you alone I shall trust... ✍️️
- From the semi-dark hall, suddenly...
- My quiet dream, by every minute granted...
- The Christmas trees are shining...
- The sound, cautiously subdued...
- O Lake Saimaa, you beautiful maiden...
1909
- A weightless breath has not disturbed the frosty air...
- I was given a body...
- Subtler than subtleness...
- Upon the paling blue veneer...
- Vast poignant sadness opened wide...
- There`s no need to use the gift of speech...
1910
- I see the heavens, dull and stony...
- More sluggish the snowy hive...
- Silentium
- The Snake
- Up out of an evil clinging pool...
- A sole delight...
1911
- A meagre beam in a cold measure...
- And slowly the horses ride...
- Blackened wind weaves patterns hollow...
- O, heavens, you will be my nightmare...
- Of no use to you, night, I’m lost...
- The dull air is moist and resounding...
- Today is an ominous day...
- Why is the soul so lyrical...
- You want to be like a baby toy... ✍️️
- On a pearl shuttle you spin...
1912
- Casino
- Golden Coin
- Hagia Sophia
- I cannot stand the rays...
- No, not the moon, a luminous clock face...
- On Foot
- The Lutheran
- Village of the Tsar
- Your vague image, frail and born in ache...
- Notre Dame
1913
- Bach
- Dombey and Son
- Foreigner sits in a stifling tavern...
- Old Man
- Petersburg strophes ✍️️
- The bread’s poisoned and the air’s drunk up...
- The Egyptian
- The Admiralty
- We have gone mad from endless jubilation...
- For 20 years an American woman...
1914
- Half turning round, O sadness... ✍️️
- Hellenes were readying for war... ✍️️
- I have not heard the tales of Ossian...
- Ice cream! And the sun. And a wafer’s light crisp...
- Let the names of flowery cities... ✍️️
- No grass ever grows...
- Equinox
1915
- My dry and dreary life...
- Freedom is a wondrous marvel...
- Here is the discus, like a golden sun...
- How luxury of these wares and robes and lace...
- Insomnia. Homer. The sails — stretched out...
1916
- The Greeks gathered for war... ✍️️
- I have lost a delicate cameo...
- I`m feeling chilly. The transparent spring...
- In the Petropolis of shades we will expire...
- Menagerie ✍️️
- This night has gone beyond redemption...
- Upon a horse-sleigh laid to brim with straw...
- In multitude of choir polyhymnal...
- Behold, this air, made drunk with haze...
- In Sunday marvel disbelieving...
- Straw (Salome)
1917
- Among the priests a young Levite...
- The Decembrist
- Nature is Rome, and is reflected there...
- The thread of golden honey flowed from the bottle...
- Meganom
- When red October’s dim time-server for us made...
- To Cassandra
- When on the squares in silence...
1918
- Tristia ✍️️
- What grasshopper-clocks are singing...
- Your fabulous enunciation...
- On fearsome height stands wandering fire...
- The Twilight of Freedom
- The wooden organ did not roar this evening... ✍️️
- The Telephone ✍️️
1919
1920
- In St. Petersburg again we come together...
- Into the circling choral dance of shadows that trampled the soft meadow...
- Like other men...
- Of hunchbacked Tiflis I am dreaming...
- Return into the lap of incest...
- The Swallow
- Venetian Life ✍️️
- Sisters heaviness and tenderness... ✍️️
- A ghostlike scene is glimmering...
- For joy’s sake, from my hands... 🖼️️
- When Psyche that is life descends... ✍️️
- For this that your arms I could not more tightly keep...
- It is a pity that the winter falls...

- After midnight, clean out of your hands...
- Tied to the high world in only a child-like manner...
- You and I sit in the kitchen...
- I’ll tell you bluntly...
- My eyelash prickles — a tear boils up from my chest...
- For the resounding glory of ages to come...
- Lived Alexander Gertsevich...
- No, I will not hide from the great mess...
- I drink to military asters...
- It is midnight in Moscow, a sumptuously Buddhist summer...
- My status being still far from a patriarch’s...
- To A. A. A.
- Enough of sniveling!..

1935
- My body, all I borrowed from the earth...
- O let me go, Voronezh...
- What is the name of this street?..
- The Violinist
- By denying me the seas, the right to run and fly...
- To the Memory of Olga Vaxel
- I must perform my smoky rite...
1936
- Goldfinch, friend, I`ll cock my head... ✍️️
- Deep in the mountain the idol rests...
- Like a belated gift...
1937
- You`re not alone. You haven`t died...
- I stare into the face of the frost, we remain...
- Where can I hide in this January?..
- Breaks in round bays, and shingle, and blue...
- Armed with the eyesight of those narrow wasps...
- I sing when throat is moist, and soul is dry and cold...
- The Unknown Soldier
- I`ll say this in a whisper, in draft...
- I am lost in the sky — what to do?..
- The Last Supper
