There was no doubt! Eugene, alas! + 

Tattiana loved as when a lad, + 

Both day and night he now must pass + 

In love-lorn meditation sad. + 

Careless of every social rule, + 

The crystals of her vestibule + 

He daily in his drives drew near + 

And like a shadow haunted her. + 

Enraptured was he if allowed + 

To swathe her shoulders in the furs, + 

If his hot hand encountered hers, + 

Or he dispersed the motley crowd + 

Of lackeys in her pathway grouped, + 

Or to pick up her kerchief stooped. + 
