A poem by Alexander Pushkin – Pouchkine, Pooshkin (1799-1837), in English translation
The senseless years’ extinguished mirth and laughter
Oppress me like some hazy morning-after.
But sadness of days past, as alcohol –
The more it age, the stronger grip the soul.
My course is dull. The future’s troubled ocean
Forebodes me toil, misfortune and commotion.
But no, my friends, I do not wish to leave;
I’d rather live, to ponder and to grieve –
And I shall have my share of delectation
Amid all care, distress and agitation:
Time and again I’ll savor harmony,
Melt into tears about some fantasy,
And on my sad decline, to ease affliction,
May love yet show her smile of valediction.
