Sergey Yesenin — I do believe in happiness!

I do believe in happiness!

The sun has not yet faded. Rays

Of sunrise like a book of prayers

Predict the happy news. Oh yes!

I do believe in happiness!

Ring , golden Russia, carry on,

Oh blow you wind, so unabated!

Blessed is the one who celebrated

Your shepherd"s sadness, hope forlorn.

Ring, golden Russia, carry on!

I love the wild impetuous streams,

The shine of stars upon the water.

The blessed dejection, crying quarter,

The blessing people and extremes

Of roaring wild impetuous streams.

1917
