His visit she had not awaited, + 

His momentary loving glance + 

Her inmost soul had penetrated, + 

And his strange conduct at the dance + 

Alarmed by jealous agonies: + 

Beneath her roaring opened wide: + 

“I shall expire,” Tattiana cried, + 

“But death from him will be delight. + 

I murmur not! Why mournfulness? + 

He cannot give me happiness.” + 
