GRATITUDE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: For all, for all, my thanks to thee I offer
Last Line: That I no longer must give thanks to thee!
Alternate Author Name(s): Lermontov, Mikhail Yuryevich


FOR all, for all, my thanks to Thee I offer,
For passion's martyrdom that no one knew,
For poisoned kisses, for the griefs I suffer,
Vengeance of foes, slander of friends untrue,
For the soul's ardour squandered in waste places,
For everything in life that cheated me, --
But see that now and after such Thy grace is
That I no longer must give thanks to Thee!
