Death-Thoughts

Life,—does it disappoint thee?
Grieve not, nor be angry thou!
In days of sorrow gentle be:
Come shall, believe, the joyful day.

In the future lives the heart:
Is the present sad indeed?
‘T is but a moment, all will pass;
Once in the past, it shall be dear.

1825.

Translated by Ivan Panin
