(Honor Sent To Great Bard, Alexander Pushkin
Second Tribute Series, Fifth Poet)

(1.)
Poetry Gave Its Deep Rich Brilliance Unto Thee

Bard, what bright Light graced thy soft serenades
In late midnight hours, moonlight streaming down
Alas! With Time's fleeing flight, thy fame fades
Yet thy verse treasures gave thee world renown.

In desert that is poor and dull
On soil that is scorched with fire
The Upas-tree stands as a hull
as guard who's one who knows no tire.

The prairie's nature had a thirst
begetting Him in day of fury,
It filled dead green of branches first,
It poisoned roots these give...

There're frost and sun, the day is fairy,
You're sleeping yet, sweetheart, you're merry,
It's time, wake up, my pretty lass,
Open your eyes that are so tender
towards Aurora and her splendour 
Rise like the Northern star to bless.

The eve, remember, evil blizzard,
Sky's full of mist, sky was...

I hated you twice: that second hate has yet 
To lie down a much longer within my heart;      
Sure it will bother you not for awhile,           
For I’ve wished to...

I love you, so I'm getting mad,
let my ado and shame are vainly 
And all my foolish thoughts aren't sanely
in feet of yours I bow my head.
It's not my face, it's not my age,
It's time to be just little smarter,
I see my symptoms and they...

The Meandering Brook
*******************
the brook meanders across the moorland,
dividing heather and bracken with banks
adorned with wetland flora, looking grand.
sandy patches, fauna can fill their tanks.

birds of many feathers' quench their thirst, bathe.
water shrew, get lucky, a chance to gaze.
a dipper where the bank widens; washed rock.

I can remember time of wonder
when you appeared before my eyes
like fleeting vision like a thunder,
pure queen of beauty and sunrise.

In tiresome longing of despair
in noisy troubles of ado
your tender voice was in my air
I saw sweet dreamings about you.

Years passed. A riot of rebellion...

I Loved You
by Alexander Pushkin
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

1.
I loved you once … perhaps I love you still …
perhaps such erratic flickerings remain.
But please don’t let my feelings trouble you;
I do not wish to cause you further pain.

I loved you … thus the hopelessness...

In pale sunshine as Winter bids farewell
A pretty face appears to spark a smile
Of golden dreams to cast a lighter spell
And thoughts of spring in languid minds compile.
On peaceful mornings, bird song finds its voice
As snow begins to melt as if by choice
It knows it's...

There is a country far away, though today 
Not so far, but wide as the eye can see,
Though a place you would not like to stay;
A place once valued in time and history,

Where stories were told, the people bold,
Now grown tired, now grown old;
And people...

I loved you so, and maybe feeling 
yet didn't fade away in soul, 
but let it do not make your thrilling 
I do not want you sad at all. 

I loved so hopeless and so silent, 
I was so jealous and so shy, 
I loved...
