The Wondrous Moment Of Our Meeting

Wondrous Moment By Alexander Pushkin Performed By Sarah Coyne The wondrous moment of our meeting I well remember you appear Before me like a vision fleeting, A beauty's angel pure and clear. In hopeless ennui surrounding The worldly bustle, to my ear For long your tender voice kept sounding, For long in dreams came features dear. Time passed. Unruly storms confounded Old dreams, and I from year to year Forgot how tender you had sounded, Your heavenly features once so dear. My backwoods days dragged slow and quiet- Dull fence around, dark vault above- Devoid of god and uninspired, Devoid of tears, of fire, of love. Sleep from my soul began retreating, And here you once again appear Before me like a vision fleeting, A beauty's angel pure and clear. In ecstasy the heart is beating, Old joys for it anew revive; Inspired and god-filled, it is greeting The fire, and tears, and love alive. /> Rebecca Lin 2012 Spring In USA/>/>
