By a fresh grave

Leonid Dimitrievitch Malashkin

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!
