A poet's wife passed away...
He loved her even more than his tenure!
His grief was wild and terrible--
But the blow didn't kill the poet.
After the funeral he went home--hit rock bottom.
Then everything took on a new perspective,
And he composed a poem:
"A poet's wife passed away."
1909
--Sasha Chernyi (Translated by me)
Beautiful poem
