Nature
The Birdlet
Translated by Ivan Panin (1888) · From Poems (Panin, 1888)
Nature
In exile I sacredly observe
The custom of my fatherland:
I freedom to a birdlet give
On Spring's holiday serene.
And now I too have consolation:
Wherefore murmur against my God
When at least to one living being
I could of freedom make a gift?
