WHY by MIKHAIL YUREVICH LERMONTOV

Poet Analysis

First Line: I'M SAD FOR, LOVING THEE, I KNOW FULL WELL
Last Line: I'M SAD BECAUSE I SEE MY LOVED ONE GAY!

I'M sad for, loving thee, I know full well
That this world's talk, with its calumnious spell,
Will never spare thy fresh youth's opening flower.
For every happy day and sunny hour,
Fate will exact in grief and tears his pay.
I'm sad because I see my loved one gay!
