GOODBYE, MY FRIEND by SERGEY ALEXANDROVICH YESENIN

Poem Explanation

First Line: GOODBYE, MYFRIEND, GOODBYE
Last Line: THOUGH LIVING IS NO NEWER

Goodbye, my friend, goodbye
My love, you are in my heart.
It was preordained we should part
And be reunited by and by.


Goodbye: no handshake to endure.
Let's have no sadness - furrowed brow.
There's nothing new in dying now
Though living is no newer.
