The Rose

By Alexander Pushkin (1799–1837)

Translation of Thomas Budd Shaw

WHERE is our rose, friends?

Tell if ye may!

Faded the rose, friends,

The Dawn-child of Day.

Ah, do not say,

Such is life’s fleetness!

No, rather say,

I mourn thee, rose,—farewell!

Now to the lily-bell

Flit we away.
