By a fresh grave
Ivan Avgustovich Borodin
I am alone again and again that same night
is all around me and the gloomy darkness,
And, occupied by fateful thoughts,
I stand by a fresh grave!
What should I wait for, what should I live for,
What should I turn back for and toil:
Now there is no one for me to love,
There is no one for me to pray to!
