Resolved the flirt to cast away, + 

The foaming Lenski would refuse, + 

To see his Olga ere the fray⁠— + 

His watch, the sun in turn he views⁠— + 

Finally tost his arms in air + 

And lo! he is already there! + 

He deemed his coming would inspire + 

Olga with trepidation dire. + 

He was deceived. Just as before + 

The miserable bard to meet, + 

As hope uncertain and as sweet, + 

Olga ran skipping from the door. + 

She was as heedless and as gay⁠— + 

Well! just as she was yesterday. + 
