Do not wait for the late reply,
Him in this life do not find.
But clearly feels the poet's ear
The distant hum in his way.
He hath inclined his ear with care,
He eagerly listens, keenly awaits,
And it was told to have hearing:
Blossoms, blazhenstvuet, increases…
Closer - aspirations more,
But, brother! - excitement does not carry…
And the prophetic falls, Nemeth,
Zaslysha close rumble on the road.
Circle - family in a daze prayers,
And over the cemetery - dimensional ringing…
They do not grasp the dream,
Which he did not wait!..
19 July 1901
