Sergei Yesenin
Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin (sometimes spelled as Esenin) ( 21 September 1895 – 28 December 1925)
A change from the usual “naughty” stuff, a moving and sad farewell poem by Sergei Yesenin, my thanks to Bowlers and High Collars
“Goodbye, my friend, goodbye”
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye
My love, you are in my heart.
It was preordained we should part
And be reunited by and by.
Goodbye: no handshake to endure.
Let’s have no sadness — furrowed brow.
There’s nothing new in dying now
Though living is no newer.
My love, you are in my heart.
It was preordained we should part
And be reunited by and by.
Goodbye: no handshake to endure.
Let’s have no sadness — furrowed brow.
There’s nothing new in dying now
Though living is no newer.
