From Dmitriev—The Dove and The Stranger
By Sir John Bowring (1792–1872)
From ‘Specimens of the Russian Poets’
I mourn, unceasing mourn, my vanished love.
What, has thy love then fled, or faithless proved?
Ah no! the sportsman murdered him I loved!
Unhappy one! beware! that sportsman’s nigh!
Oh, let him come—or else of grief I die.
