Hear your voice I over again

Author: A. Fet

Hear your voice I over again,
Hear and pale I grow,
As with the soul I parted ways
With loveliness of yours!

Had a torment like this I known
Early at crack of dawn,
I wouldn’t have loved, I wouldn’t have nursed
The olive-skinned gypsy girl.

What is the point to heat up in vain
Blood that has frozen in veins?!
To love me you, alas, have failed,
While I am unable to forget.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! We lost Carrie Fisher this year. There have been a few women that I would like to talk to again from Hardee's and a few I went to school with.

Thank you very much, dear poet! Didi madloba (that's the same Thank You in Georgian). Merry Christmas to you too and the happiest New Year! Let there be less sadness in our lives, more smiles on faces of people we meet! God bless us all living on this blessed Earth!
