Semyon Yakovlevich Nadson. (№ 423245)

Vain dreams!... Heavy chains
Forever shackled you to the soulless crowd:
You cried for her with combustible tears,
You loved her with all your will and soul.
You have understood that in labor there are expressed hands,
That hundreds of these victims, ruined in the struggle,
And tears of poverty, and moans of burning torment -
They are not book nonsense, they do not dream of you...
