He Has Been Born Poem by Mikhail Lermontov

He Has Been Born



He has been born for hopes and for joys,
For inspirations peaceful! - But, a crazy,
He early left the world of fairy tales and toys
And threw his heart in a sea of high life, hazy.
God did not saved him from the world at once!
Thus a ripe fruit, which early had matured, -
Midst flowers it hangs, an orphan poor,
And does not satisfy nor any test, nor eyes;
The time of their bloom is one when he dies!

A greedy worm is gnawing him through,
And while the girlfriends, so sweet and gentle,
Are swaying on a branch - the early fruit
Just pulls the own one - until the winter enters!
It's awful to be old, without a grayish tingle:
He does not find the peers; in a crowd,
He goes, leaving locked his soul proud -
Just not a slave nor a king, with other people mingled, -
And all that he there feels, he ever feels a single!
