1550275I Shall Saddle my Steed...Aleksey Koltsov

I shall saddle my steed, my steed speedy and fleet,
And away I shall fly, light as falcon, and free,
On through fields, over seas, to the land far away,
There my youth overtake, and return it to me.
I shall dress myself gaily, and maidens again,
As before, will with greeting receive me, and love.
But alas! No paths lead where there's never return,
And the sun never starts its bright course in the West.
