By the sick lady’s gaiety + 

And kindness Tania was impressed, + 

But, her own room in memory, + 

The strange apartment her oppressed: + 

Repose her silken curtains fled, + 

She could not sleep in her new bed. + 

The early tinkling of the bells + 

Which of approaching labour tells + 

Aroused Tattiana from her bed. + 

The maiden at her casement sits + 

As daylight glimmers, darkness flits, + 

But ah! discerns nor wood nor mead⁠— + 

Beneath her lay a strange courtyard, + 

A stable, kitchen, fence appeared. + 
