I Went Through All My
I went through all my former wishes, I stopped to love my former dreams; In my poor soul stays affliction -- Result of empty-heart disease. Under the fate's fiendish tempests, My wreath of flowers had waned -- I live alone with my sadness, And wait: when will come my end? Like, when a snowstorm is whistling, Alone, on the bare twigs, The latest leaf is sadly twisting Under the cold's deadly stings. Translated by Yevgeny Bonver
I Went Through All My - meaning Summary
Enduring Solitary Melancholy
The poem expresses a speaker’s weary resignation after losing youthful hopes and loves. He reviews former wishes, finds only persistent sorrow, and imagines life reduced to waiting for death. Nature imagery—a fading floral wreath and a lone last leaf battered by a snowstorm—mirrors his internal decline. The tone is elegiac and detached, portraying loneliness, the passage of time, and acceptance of an inevitable end.
