In Translation


I loved you; perhaps that love
has not yet gone out entirely from my soul,
but do not let it trouble you more;
I never wanted to sadden you.
I loved you silently, hopelessly,
now too shy, now too jealous.
I loved you so sincerely, so tenderly,
May God grant you another to love you likewise.

-- Aleksandr Pushkin
A new translation by my friend, Wendell (not the writer).
