A poem by Alexander Pushkin – Pouchkine, Pooshkin (1799-1837), in English translation
In alien lands I keep the body
Of ancient native rites and things:
I gladly free a little birdie
At celebration of the spring.
I’m now free for consolation,
And thankful to almighty Lord:
At least, to one of his creations
I’ve given freedom in this world!
