 “WHY.”

I’m sad, for, loving thee, I know full well

That this world’s talk, with its calumnious spell,
Will never spare thy fresh youth’s opening flower.
For every happy day and sunny hour,
Fate will exact in grief and tears his pay.
I’m sad because I see my loved one gay!
 MOSCOW.

Moscow, I love thee with a filial love,

Strong, burning, tender, which a Russian knows!
I love the holy gleam thy brows above,
Thy battled Kremlin in its calm repose.
In vain the foreign Potentate[6] essayed,
Great Russian giant of a thousand years,
To cope with thee, and, by deceit betrayed,
To make thee bow thy soul to craven fears.
In vain the Stranger spurred; you reared; he fell!
The world grew silent ’neath his mighty spell;
Whilst thou alone didst live, my stately one,
Thou heir to glories ours, and ours alone!
Thou livest still, and every stone of thine
Doth tell of generations tales divine.

FOOTNOTES:
[6] Napoleon.
FROM PUSHKIN.
 ⁂

I wander down the noisy streets,

I enter crowded fanes,
I join in youthful revelries,
I give my fancy reins.

I say, “The years are flying fast,

And seen we scarce are here,
Before we reach eternal tombs;
For each the hour is near.”

I glance upon the lonely oak,

The patriarch of the wood,
And think, “He’ll live through my brief day,
He through my father’s stood.”

I fondly kiss the little child,

And, kissing, think, “Good-bye!
I’m giving up my place to you.
You bloom; ’tis mine to die.”

Thus every day, thus every hour,

I’m wont with thought to spend,
And strive to guess the birthday-date
Of my approaching end.

Ah! where will Fate send Death to me?

Abroad? in war? on deep?
Or will a neighbouring valley hold
My cold dust in its keep?
Yet, though I know my lifeless form
Must rot where’er I die,
I’d fondly wish near my loved home,
In my own land, to lie.

There, round the entrance to the grave,

Let young life freely play,
And careless Nature calmly smile
With ageless beauty gay!
 ANACREONTIC.

We know the steed of mettle

By the breed-marks branded on it;
We know the haughty Highlander
By his plumed and towering bonnet;
And I know the happy lovers
By the love-light in their eyes,
Where, its tale of joyance telling,
The languid flame doth rise.
 (TO HIS WIFE.)

No! not for me the wild tumultuous gladness,

The rapturous rush, the transports, and the madness,
The moans, the cries, the young Bacchante makes,
When, clinging close in coilings like a snake’s,
With wounding kiss, and gush of hot caresses,
For the last moments’ thrills she quiveringly presses.

Far dearer thou, my gentle one, to me,

And happy I—distracted more by thee—
When yielding to long prayers with gentle grace,
You press me softly in your meek embrace;
Modestly cold, to love with passion fraught
You scarce respond; you conscience seem of naught;
Yet warm and warmer glowing, till at last,
As ’twere against your will, you share my blast.
 ⁂

Let me not lose my senses, God;

Better the pilgrim’s scrip and rod,
Or toil and hunger sad.
Not that I prize this mind of mine,
Or that my reason to resign
I should not be right glad,
If only then they’d set me free.
At large! How sportively I’d flee
To where the dark wood gleams!
I’d sing in raving ecstasies,
Forgetting self in fantasies
Of changeful wondrous dreams.
To the wild waves I’d lend an ear,
And glancing upward, full of cheer,
Would scan the open sky;
And strong and free I’d rush amain,
A whirlwind sweeping o’er the plain,
Crashing through woods I’d fly.
But there’s the rub! You lose your sense—
Are dreaded like a pestilence,
And clapped in prison drear.
They chain you to the idiot’s yoke,
And, through the cage-bars, to provoke
The wild beast they draw near.
No more the nightingale to hear
At midnight singing sweet and clear,
Nor greenwood’s rustling strains,
But only brother-madmen’s cries,
The nightly keeper’s blasphemies,
And shrieks, and clang of chains.
 ⁂

I’ve overlived aspirings,

My fancies I disdain;
The fruits of hollow-heartedness,
Sufferings alone remain.

’Neath cruel storms of Fate,

Withers my crown of bay,
A sad and lonely life I lead,
Waiting my latest day.

Thus, struck by latter cold,

While howls the wintry wind,
Trembles upon the naked bough
The last leaf left behind.
 PETER THE GREAT.

With autocratic hand

He boldly sowed the light;
He did not scorn his native land—
He knew her destined might.
A carpenter, a seaman,
A scholar, hero, he,
With mighty genius on the throne,
A labourer was incessantly.
 THE PROPHET.

By spiritual thirst opprest,

I hied me to the desert dim,
When lo! upon my path appeared
The holy six-winged seraphim.
My brow his fingers lightly pressed,
Soothing my eyelids into rest:
Open my inward vision flies,
As ope a startled eaglet’s eyes.
He touched my ears, and they were filled
With sounds that all my being thrilled.
I felt a trembling fill the skies,
I heard the sweep of angels’ wings,
Beneath the sea saw creeping things,
And in the valleys vines arise.
Over my lips awhile he hung,
And tore from me my sinful tongue—
The babbling tongue of vanity.
The sting of serpent’s subtlety
Within my lips, as chilled I stood,
He placed, with right hand red with blood.
Then with a sword my bosom cut,
And forth my quivering heart he drew;
A glowing coal of fire he put
Within my breast laid bare to view.
As corpse-like on the waste I lay,
Thus unto me God’s voice did say—
“Prophet, arise! confess My Name;
Fulfil My will; submit to Me!
Arise! go forth o’er land and sea,
And with high words men’s hearts inflame!”
 ⁂

Play, my Kathleen;
No sorrow know.
The Graces flowers
Around thee throw.
Thy little cot
They softly swing,
And bright for thee
Dawns life’s fresh spring.
For all delights
Thou hast been born;
Catch, catch wild joys,
In life’s young morn!
Thy tender years
To love devote;
While hums the world,
Love my pipe’s note.
 A MONUMENT.[7]

I’ve raised myself no statue made with hands;

The People’s path to it no weeds will hide.
Rising with no submissive head, it stands
Above the pillar of Napoleon’s pride.
No! I shall never die; in sacred strains
My soul survives my dust, and flies decay—
And famous shall I be, while there remains
A single Poet ’neath the light of day.
Through all great Russia will go forth my fame,
And every tongue in it will name my name;
And by the nation long shall I be loved,
Because my lyre their nobler feelings moved;
Because I strove to serve them with my song,
And called forth mercy for the fallen throng.
Hear God’s command, O Muse, obediently,
Nor dread reproach, nor claim the Poet’s bay;
To praise and blame alike indifferent be,
And let fools say their say!

FOOTNOTES:
[7] Like our Shakespeare, Pushkin knew his own merits.
 THE POET.

Until Apollo calls the Bard

To share the holy sacrifice,
Plunged in the petty cares of life
The Poet’s spirit lies.

Silent and still his sacred lyre,

His soul to sleep a prey,
Amongst earth’s worthless sons he seems
More worthless, p’raps, than they.

But once the sacred summons rings

And strikes his eager ears,
The Poet’s soul, like eagle roused,
On upward pinion steers.

Then earthly pleasures cease to charm;

He scorns the babbling crowd;
No more beneath their Idol’s feet
His haughty head is bowed.

He flies—and wild and stern his moods,

His notes, now grave, now gay—
To shores where lonely billows play,
To depths of whispering woods.
FROM NADSON.
 ⁂

Pity the stately cypress trees;

How freshly green they spring!
Ah! why amidst their branches, child,
Have you put up your swing?
Break not a single fragrant bough.
Oh, take thy swing away
To heights where thick acacias bloom;
Mid dusty olives play!
Thence you can see the Ocean,
And, as your swing ascends,
Through greening boughs a sunny glimpse
The sea in laughter sends
Of white sails in the distance dim,
Of white gulls far away,
Of white flakes foaming on the sands,
A fringe of snowy spray.
FROM NEKRASOF.
 TE DEUM.

In our village there’s cold and there’s hunger;

Through the mist the sad morn rises chill;
Tolls the bell—the parishioners calling
From afar to the church on the hill;
Austere and severe and commanding
Pealed that dull tone thro’ the air.
I spent in the church that wet morning;
I can never forget the scene there.
For there knelt the village hamlet,
Young and old in a weeping crowd;
To be saved from the grievous famine
The people prayed aloud.
Such woe I had seldom witnessed,
Such agony of prayer,
And unconsciously I murmured,
“O God, the people spare!”

“Spare their friends, too, in Thy mercy!

Oh, hear our heartfelt cry!
For those who strove to free the serf
We lift the prayer on high;
For those who bore the battle’s brunt
And lived to win the day,
For those who’ve heard the serf’s last song,
To Thee, O God, we pray.”
 THE PROPHET.

Ah! tell me not he prudence quite forgot;

That he himself for his own fate’s to blame.
Clearer than we, he saw that man cannot
Both serve the good and save himself from flame.

But men he loved with higher, broader glow;

His soul for worldly honours did not sigh;
For self alone he could not live below,
But for the sake of others he could die.

Thus thought he—and to die, for him, was gain.

He will not say that “life to him was dear;”
He will not say that “death was useless pain;”
To him, long since, his destiny was clear.
 ⁂

Offer my Muse a friendly hand,

For I can sing no other song.
Who feels no woe, nor flames at wrong,
Loves not his Fatherland.
