[1821] 02:04
Poem by Alexander Pushkin [1821] I have outlasted all desire My dreams and I have grown apart; My grief alone is left entire, The gleanings of an empty heart. The storms of ruthless dispensation Have struck my flowery garland numb— I live in lonely desolation And wonder when my end will come. Thus on a naked tree-limb, blasted By tardy winter's whistling chill, A single leaf which has outlasted Its season will be trembling still.

NIGHT [1823] 02:32
Poem by Alexander Pushkin NIGHT [1823] My murmurous soliloquy of thee oppresses The hush of midnight with its languorous caresses Beside the couch whereon I drowsing lie there glows A fretful candle, and my verse swells up and flows Til purling streams of love, full-charged with thee, run through me. Then shimmering through the dusk, thy lustrous eyes turn to me, They smile at me and make a whisper as they shine: My dearest, tender one . . . .my love . . . I'm thine . . . I'm thine.

[1825] 01:30
Poem by Alexander Pushkin [1825] What if life deceives and baits you, Never bridle, never grieve! Bide the dismal day, believe That a day of joy awaits you. By the future lives the heart; And if dreary be the present, All is fleeting, will depart, And departed, will be pleasant.

about

This is an EP of songs I wrote in 2003 with guitar and a (child-sized purple marbled First Act) accordion to 3 different poems by Alexander Pushkin.

I went through a phase as I often do with writers where I get into a writer and then read everything by them that I can get my hands on.

I was drawn to Pushkin because of his poetry, and while I wrote and recorded these songs, I imagined I was him.
