I’ve Lived To See Desire Vanish poem – Alexander Pushkin

A poem by Alexander Pushkin – Pouchkine, Pooshkin (1799-1837), in English translation

I’ve lived to see desire vanish,

With hope I’ve slowly come to part,

And I am left with only anguish,

The fruit of emptiness at heart.

Under the storms of merciless fate,

My worn and withered garland lies–

In sadness, lonesome, I await:

How far away is my demise?

Thus, conquered by a tardy frost,

Through gale’s whistling and shimmer,

Late, on a naked limb exposed

A lonesome leaf is left to quiver!…
