Alexander  Pushkin

                      (1799 - 1837)


                         *  *  *


             I had loved you: and love maybe,

             Yet not exhausted in my heart,

	     But let it do not troubles thee.

	     With nothing I'd do not disturb.

	     I loved you hopelessly, faintly,

	     With shyness, jealously was toutured,

	     I had loved you so sincerely, gently,

	     So God gives you be loved indeed.


             1829
