I Loved You Poem by Dave Bennett

I Loved You (Я Вас Любил)
Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin (1829)

I loved you. O, it just may be, this notion
Has not died out within my soul just yet;
But may it cease to bring on you commotion;
I would not wish to make you feel upset.

I loved you mutely, hopelessly, and dearly,
With bashful, jealous suffering one can’t know;
I loved you tenderly and so sincerely...
May God grant that another love you so.

-translation Dave Bennett
