I Loved You (2). Alexander Pushkin

I Loved You (2)

Alexander Pushkin

I loved you once; perhaps I should exclaim,
My love still lingers deep within my core.
But I do not want to cause you any pain,
So grieve thee not for me a moment more.

Silently and hopelessly I loved you,
Tormented, I was too jealous and too shy.
May God provide another who will love you,
Just as gently and as fervently as I.

Translation: Dr. Daniel Feeback.
