Chrysanthemums. Radovshevskaia

You'd like to know, why is it now
That I am dying. Oh, believe
My heart has swallowed my passion for you:
But he who has not known my love
Can only hopelessly repeat:
Things will get better yet, perhaps…

The moment I saw your deception
I wanted right away to kill you,
To see your blood flow from your wounds…
But I would lose you then forever,
Though you loved me and adored me!
But my rage gave into passion…

My fire dies with every day,
But do not blame you at all.
The signs of death are all before me…
Forgive me… Please do not forget
And at my grave please promise me
To bring chrysanthemums.
