Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin Time Poems

  • 1.
    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.
    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.
    I built myself a monument, eternal and miraculous,
    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
    Will carry off all human deeds
    And sink into oblivion
    All peoples, kingdoms and their kings.
    ...
  • 5.
    God-like Tsarevna
    Of the Kirgiz-Kaisatskii horde!
    Whose wisdom matchless
    Opened the true path
    ...
  • 6.
    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.
    ...
