Что так усиленно сердце больное
Бьётся, и просит, и жаждет покоя?
Чем я взволнован испуган в ночи?
Стукнула дверь застонав и заноя.
Гаснущей лампы блеснули лучи...
Боже мой. Дух мне в груди захватило!
Кто-то зовёт меня, шепчет уныло...
Кто-то вошёл...? Моя келья пуста,
Нет никого, это полночь пробило...
О, одиночество, о нищета!

Why does my aching heart so strenuously
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
Why does my aching heart so strenuously
Beat, and plead, and yearn for peace?
What troubles me and terrifies me in the night?
A door has banged shut, groaning and whining;
The sputtering lamp has sent out flashing rays of light…
My God! My breath catches in my chest!
Someone calls to me, whispering gloomily…
Someone has come in… but my room is empty,
There is nobody here - it was midnight striking.
Oh, loneliness, o poverty!
