Death & Dying
Over the Grave of Bogdanovich
Translated by John Bowring · From Specimens of the Russian Poets, 1821
Death & Dying
Here Love unseen, when sinks the evening sun,
Wets the cold urn with tears, and mournful thinks,
While his sad spirit, sorrow-broken, sinks,--
None now can sing my angel Psyche--none!
