Well ... this-thing about "the city familiar to tears" ...
LENINGRAD

Thank you for a wonderful poem. Here's another one where the city and Onegin - the main characters.

St. Petersburg stanza

M. OE

Gumilev

Above the yellow government buildings
Spinning long muddy blizzard
And the lawyer again sits in the sled
Sweeping gesture zapahnuv coat.

Hibernate steamers. In the sun
Lit cabins thick glass.
Monstrous, like a battleship in dry dock -
Russia rests heavily.

And over the Neva River - the Embassy of half,
Admiralty, the sun, silence!
And the state hard porphyry,
As a rough sackcloth of hair, poor.

Heavily burden northern snob -
Onegin's ancient longing;
On the square of the Senate - the shaft snowdrift,
Smoke fire and chill bayonet ...

Drawers of water skiff and gulls
Marine visited a warehouse Hemp
Where selling sbiten or loaves,
Only opera wandering men.

Flies in the mist motor procession;
Proud, humble pedestrian -
Offbeat Eugene - Poverty ashamed
Gasoline inhales and the fate of the curse!
