| Derzhavin | B |
| - | |
| I | - |
| October has arrived the woods have tossed | C |
| Their final leaves from naked branches | D |
| A breath of autumn chill the road begins to freeze | E |
| The stream still murmurs as it passes by the mill | F |
| The pond however's frozen and my neighbor hastens | G |
| to his far flung fields with all the members of his hunt | H |
| The winter wheat will suffer from this wild fun | B |
| And baying hounds awake the slumbering groves | I |
| - | |
| II | - |
| This is my time I am not fond of spring | J |
| The tiresome thaw the stench the mud spring sickens me | K |
| The blood ferments and yearning binds the heart and mind | A |
| With cruel winter I am better satisfied | L |
| I love the snows when in the moonlight | M |
| A sleigh ride swift and carefree with a friend | N |
| Who warm and rosy 'neath a sable mantle | O |
| Burns trembles as she clasps your hand | P |
| - | |
| III | - |
| What fun it is with feet in sharp steel shod | Q |
| To skim the mirror of the smooth and solid streams | R |
| And how about the shining stir of winter feasts | S |
| But in the end you must admit that naught but snow | B |
| For half the year will even bore a bear | T |
| Deep in his den We cannot ride for ages | D |
| In sleighs with youthful nymphs | U |
| Or sulk around the stove behind storm windows | V |
| - | |
| IV | - |
| O summer fair I would have loved you too | W |
| Except for heat and dust and gnats and flies | X |
| You kill off all our mental power | Y |
| Torment us and like fields we suffer from the drought | Z |
| To take a drink refresh ourselves somehow | A2 |
| We think of nothing else and long for lady Winter | Y |
| And having bid farewell to her with pancakes and with wine | B |
| We hold a wake to honor her with ice cream and with ice | B2 |
| - | |
| V | - |
| The latter days of fall are often cursed | C2 |
| But as for me kind reader she is precious | D2 |
| In all her quiet beauty mellow glow | B |
| Thus might a child disfavored in its family | - |
| Draw my regard To tell you honestly | - |
| Of all the times of year I cherish her alone | B |
| She's full of worth and I a humble lover | Y |
| Have found in her peculiar charms | E2 |
| - | |
| VI | - |
| How can this be explained I favor her | Y |
| As you might one day find yourself attracted | F2 |
| To a consumptive maid Condemned to death | G2 |
| The poor child languishes without complaint or anger | Y |
| A smile plays upon her withering lips | H2 |
| She cannot sense as yet the gaping maw of death | G2 |
| A crimson glow still flits across her face | I2 |
| Today she lives tomorrow she is gone | B |
| - | |
| VII | - |
| A melancholy time So charming to the eye | - |
| Your beauty in its parting pleases me | - |
| I love the lavish withering of nature | Y |
| The gold and scarlet raiment of the woods | J2 |
| The crisp wind rustling o'er their threshold | K2 |
| The sky engulfed by tides of rippled gloom | L2 |
| The sun's scarce rays approaching frosts | M2 |
| And gray haired winter threatening from afar | N2 |
| - | |
| VIII | - |
| When autumn comes I bloom anew | W |
| The Russian frost does wonders for my health | O2 |
| Anew I fall in love with life's routine | B |
| Betimes I'm soothed by dreams betimes by hunger caught | P2 |
| The blood flows free and easy in my heart | Q2 |
| Abrim with passion once again I'm happy young | R2 |
| I'm full of life such is my organism | S2 |
| Excuse me for this awful prosaism | S2 |
| - | |
| IX | M2 |
| My horse is brought to me in open field | T2 |
| With flying mane he carries fast his rider | Y |
| And with his shining hooves he hammers out a song | U2 |
| Upon the frozen ringing vale and crackling ice | M2 |
| But fleeting day dies out new fire comes alive | - |
| Inside the long forgotten stove it blazes bright | M |
| Then slowly smoulders as I read before it | V2 |
| Or nourish long and heartfelt thoughts | M2 |
| - | |
| X | M2 |
| And I forget the world in silence sweet | W2 |
| I'm sweetly lulled by my imagination | B |
| And poetry awakens deep inside | L |
| My heart is churned with lyric agitation | B |
| It trembles moans and strives as if in sleep | X2 |
| To pour out in the end a free statement | H |
| And here they come a ghostly swarm of guests | M2 |
| My long lost friends the fruits of all my dream | S2 |
| - | |
| XI | M2 |
| My mind is overcome by dashing thoughts | M2 |
| And rhymes come running eagerly to meet them | S2 |
| My hand demands a pen the pen a sheet of paper | Y |
| Another minute and my verse will freely flow | B |
| Thus slumbers an immobile ship caught in immobile waters | M2 |
| But lo the sailors rush all of a sudden crawl | Y2 |
| Up top then down sails billow filled with wind | A |
| The massive structure moves and cuts the waves | M2 |
| - | |
| XII | M2 |
| It sails But whither do we sail | Z2 |
