Elegy (The extinguished joy of crazy years)
The extinguished joy of crazy years
On me rests heavy, like dull debauch.
But of by-gone days the grief, like wine
In my soul the older, the stronger ‘t grows.
Dark my path. Toil and pain promised are me
By the Future’s roughened sea.
But not Death, O friends, I wish!
But Life I wish: to think and suffer;
Well I know, for me are joys in store
‘Mid struggles, toils, and sorrows:
Yet ‘gain at times shall harmony drink in
And tears I’ll shed over Fancy’s fruit,—
Yet mayhap at my saddened sunset
Love will beam with farewell and smile.
1830.
Translated by Ivan Panin
