I Went Through All My
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.
Read Complete AnalysesI 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
