Here am I forlorn, Like another Crusoe, All the world has gone And I mean to do so. Seek you solitude, Then my words remember, Try no desert rude, But London in September. THE NAIAD. (TRANSLATED FROM THE RUSSIAN OF PUSHKIN. 1 ) iY a forest-hidden lake, In a cabin rude, Dwelt a holy monk, who sought Rest and solitude. Here his daily life was pass'd, Many a rolling year, In fasting, penitence, and prayer, And practices austere. 1 Alexander Pushkin or Pouschkin, the most celebrated poet of Russia,... who has often been compared to Byron, was born at St. Petersburgh, May 26, I799> and died February 10, 1837. THE NAIAD. 19 Digging in his narrow grave Was his daily task ; No wish had he, and when he pray'd, Only death to ask. One day at the open door Knelt the anchorite, While the forest darker grew With the shades of night From the waters of the lake Slowly mists arise, Through the clouds the moon is seen Floating in the skies. From his knees the hermit rose, Towards the lake he gazed, Starts, and, with bewilder'd look, Stands like one amazed.
