WORK by ALEKSANDR SERGEYEVICH PUSHKIN

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE IS THE LONG-BIDED HOUR: THE LABOR OF YEARS IS ACCOMPLISHED
Last Line: FRIEND OF THE GOLDEN-HAIRED DAWN, FRIEND OF THE GODS OF THE HEARTH?
Subject(s): LABOR & LABORERS; WAGES; WORK; WORKERS; SALARIES;
Here is the long-bided hour: the labor of years is accomplished.
Why should this sadness unplumbed secretly weigh on my heart?
Is it, my work being done, I stand like a laborer, useless,
One who has taken his pay, alien to unwonted tasks?
Is it the work I regret, the silent companion of midnight,
Friend of the golden-haired Dawn, friend of the gods of the hearth?
