The Sea

The Sea

Alexander Pushkin

1
Farewell, free element!
2
For the last time before me
3
You roll your blue waves
4
And shine in proud beauty.
5

6
Like a friend's mournful murmur,
7
Like his farewell call,
8
For the last time I hear
9
Your sad voice, your call.
10

11
You are the longed-for realm of my spirit!
12
How often on your shores
13
I wandered, silent and dejected,
14
Tormented by a secret design!
15

16
How I loved your echoes,
17
The muffled sounds, the voice of the abyss,
18
And the silence of the evening hour,
19
And the willful gusts of wind!
20

21
The fisherman's sail,
22
Protected by your whim,
23
Glides boldly between the waves;
24
But you rise up, and he perishes.
25

26
I could not tear myself away
27
From these shores, motionless and sad!
28
You waited, you called... I was bound;
29
My soul's flight was restrained
30
By an overpowering passion.
31

32
But why should I complain?
33
Where now shall I go?
34
In the wilderness of the earth
35
Your proud beauty will pursue me.
36

37
I will hear your voice
38
In the forests, in the silence of the steppes,
39
And in the rocks, and in the ravines,
40
And in the sea's roar.

Alexander Pushkin

1799 - 1837, Moscow, Russian Empire

Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin was a Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era. He is considered by many to be the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature. Pushkin was born into Russian nobility in Moscow. His father, Sergey Lvovich Pushkin, was descended from a distinguished family of the Russian nobility. Pushkin published his first poem at the age of 15, and was widely recognized by the literary establishment by the time of his graduation from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum. Pushkin's work is characterized by its exceptional beauty of language and its acceptance of aristocratic values. His writings, which draw heavily on his own experiences and the drama of his short and tragic life, encompass a wide range of political, historical, and amorous themes. He died in a duel defending his wife's honor at the age of 37.
