Я вновь один - и вновь кругом
Все та же ночь и мрак унылый.
И я в раздумьи роковом,
Стою над свежею могилой:
Чего мне ждать, к чему мне жить,
К чему бороться и трудиться:
Мне больше некого любить,
Мне больше некому молиться!...

I am alone again and again that same night
is all around me and the gloomy darkness,
And, occupied by fateful thoughts,
I stand by a fresh grave!
What should I wait for, what should I live for,
What should I turn back for and toil:
Now there is no one for me to love,
There is no one for me to pray to!
