Vladimir, hourly more a slave + 

To youthful Olga’s beauty bright, + 

Into delicious bondage gave + 

His ardent soul with full delight. + 

Always together, eventide + 

Found them in darkness side by side, + 

At morn, hand clasped in hand, they rove + 

Around the meadow and the grove. + 

And what resulted? Drunk with love, + 

But with confused and bashful air, + 

Lenski at intervals would dare, + 

If Olga smilingly approve, + 

Dally with a dishevelled tress + 

Or kiss the border of her dress. + 
