The Task

The longed-for moment here is. Ended is my long-yeared task.
Why then sadness strange me troubles secretly?
My task done, like needless hireling am I to stand,
My wage in hand, to other task a stranger?
Or my task regret I, of night companion silent mine,
Gold Aurora’s friend, the friend of my sacred household gods?

1830.

Pushkin's farewell to the sea. 1877 painted by Repin

Translated by Ivan Panin
