To....

I just recall this wondrous instant:

You have arrived before my face --

A vision, fleeting in a distance,

A spirit of the pure grace.

In pine of sorrow unfair,

In worldly harassment and noise

I dreamed of your beloved air

And heard your quiet, gentle voice.

Years passed. The tempests' rebel senders

Have scattered this delightful dream,

And I forgot this sound tender

And how heavenly you seemed.

In gloomy dark of isolation,

My  days were gradually moved,

Without faith and inspiration,

Without tears, life, and love.

My soul awoke with decision:

And you again came as a blest,

Like an enchanting fleeting vision,

A spirit of the pure grace.

My heart beats on in resurrection --

It has again for what to strive:

Divinity and inspiration,

Life, tears, and eternal love.

- A.S. Poesjkin -
