Alexander Sumarokov Poems

In vain I hide my heart's fierce pain,
In vain pretend to inner calm.
I can't be calm a single hour,
...

My sighs, fly to my sweetheart, I want you to explain
And tell her how I miss her and how I suffer pain.
...

You looked for me but now that time is gone for ever,
And all the joy we shared is lost, as I can see.
You are unfaithful to me, and you lost my favour,
...

My fair girl, don't waist your time for nothing, easily,
Love someone, - all is vanity without love,
Be nice and good, don't lose the charm you have,
...
