Alexander Pushkin - The Name
Work rating: Medium

What is my name to you? `T will die:
 a wave that has but rolled to reach
 with a lone splash a distant beach;
 or in the timbered night a cry…

 `T will leave a lifeless trace among
 names on your tablets: the design
 of an entangled gravestone line
 in an unfathomable tongue.

 What is it then? A long-dead past,
 lost in the rush of madder dreams,
 upon your soul it will not cast
 Mnemosyne`s pure tender beams.

 But if some sorrow comes to you,
 utter my name with sighs, and tell
 the silence: "Memory is true -
 there beats a heart wherein I dwell."
