Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin Time Poems

• 1. On The Death Of Prince Meshchersky
  O, Voice of time! O, metal's clang!
  Your dreadful call distresses me,
  Your groan doth beckon, beckon me
  It beckons, brings me closer to my grave.
  ...
• 2. God
  O Thou, who's infinite in space,
  Alive in ever-moving matter,
  Eternal in the flow of time,
  God faceless, with a trinity of faces!
  ...
• 3. Monument

  It's higher than the Pyramids, than metal it is harder;
  Swift winds and thunder cannot knock it down
  The flight of time cannot demolish it.
  ...
• 4. The Current Of Time's River

  ...
• 5. Felitsa
  God-like Tsarevna
  Of the Kirgiz-Kaisatskii horde!
  Whose wisdom matchless
  Opened the true path

• 6. The Swan
  I'll leave the mortal world behind,
  Take wing in an flight fantastical,
  With singing, my eternal soul
  Will rise up swan-like in the air.
  ...
