Poem by Alexander Pushkin
[1821]
I have outlasted all desire
My dreams and I have grown apart;
My grief alone is left entire,
The gleanings of an empty heart.
The storms of ruthless dispensation
Have struck my flowery garland numb—
I live in lonely desolation
And wonder when my end will come.
Thus on a naked tree-limb, blasted
By tardy winter's whistling chill,
A single leaf which has outlasted
Its season will be trembling still.

Poem by Alexander Pushkin
NIGHT [1823]
My murmurous soliloquy of thee oppresses
The hush of midnight with its languorous caresses
Beside the couch whereon I drowsing lie there glows
A fretful candle, and my verse swells up and flows
Til purling streams of love, full-charged with thee, run through me.
Then shimmering through the dusk, thy lustrous eyes turn to me,
They smile at me and make a whisper as they shine:
My dearest, tender one . . . .my love . . . I'm thine . . . I'm thine.

Poem by Alexander Pushkin
[1825]
What if life deceives and baits you,
Never bridle, never grieve!
Bide the dismal day, believe
That a day of joy awaits you.
By the future lives the heart;
And if dreary be the present,
All is fleeting, will depart,
And departed, will be pleasant.

about
This is an EP of songs I wrote in 2003 with guitar and a (child-sized purple marbled First Act) accordion to 3 different poems by Alexander Pushkin.
I went through a phase as I often do with writers where I get into a writer and then read everything by them that I can get my hands on.
I was drawn to Pushkin because of his poetry, and while I wrote and recorded these songs, I imagined I was him.
