A poem by Alexander Pushkin – Pouchkine, Pooshkin (1799-1837), in English translation
I watch Inesilla
Thy window beneath,
Deep slumbers the villa
In night’s dusky sheath.
Enamoured I linger,
Close mantled, for thee–
With sword and with guitar,
O look once on me!
Art sleeping? Wilt wake thee
Guitar tones so light?
The argus-eyed greybeard
My swift sword shall smite.
The ladder of ropes
Throw me fearlessly now!
Dost falter? Hast thou, Sweet,
Been false to thy vow?
I watch Inesilla
Thy window beneath,
Deep slumbers the villa
In night’s dusky sheath!
