In the first stanza the author about how he is going to meet St. Petersburg for the first time, and how the world is empty. Interpreting the stanza it seems that this would be the author's first netting after the name of the city has changed as he knows so much about the city in the past. The second stanza is about the environment in the city, in the past as it…
