A sample of Kedrin's poetry
"Исповедь"
Смотри, дитя, в мои глаза,
Не прячь в руках лица.
Поверь, дитя:
Глазам ксендза
Открыты все сердца.
Твоя душа грехом полна,
Сама в огонь летит.
Пожертвуй церкви литр вина
И бог тебя простит.
—Dmitri Kedrin
Ekaterinoslav, 1926
Ekaterinoslav, 1926
Translation:
"Confession"
Look me into the eye, my child,
Don't hide your face from mine.
Believe, child,
the eyes of a priest
care for all hearts and thine.
Your soul is full of sin,
Attracted to great fire.
Endow the church a pint of wine
And you will be forgiven.
