    Under caresses of an ivy
    Plaid I recalled yesterday's dream.
    Whose victory? Who's been defeated?
    What has it been?

    Rethinking everything once more,
    Torturing myself once again.
    In this, for which no word I know,
    Love it has been, love it has been.

    Who was the hunter? Who - the hunted?
    All is reversed as if by Satan!
    What did the loudly purring Siberian
    Cat, understand?

    In this self-willing one another
    Who in whose hand was but a ball?
    Whose heart flew - yours or mine,
    Do you recall?

    And still again - what has it been too?
    What do I want, what do I pity?
    And I don't know: Did I win? Or did you
    Conquer me?
