Solitude

By Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin

He's blessed, who lives in peace, that's distant

From the ignorant fobs with calls,

Who can provide his every instance

With dreams, or labors, or recalls;

To whom the fate sends friends in score,

Who hides himself by Savior's back

From bashful fools, which lull and bore,

And from the impudent ones, which wake.
