Soon Olga’s accents shrill resound + 

No longer through her former home; + 

The lancer, to his calling bound, + 

Back to his regiment must roam. + 

The aged mother, bathed in tears, + 

Distracted by her grief appears + 

When the hour came to bid good-bye⁠— + 

But my Tattiana’s eyes were dry. + 

A deadly pallor, air distressed; + 

When all around the entrance pressed, + 

To say farewell, and fussed and fumed + 

Around the carriage of the pair⁠— + 

Tattiana gently led them there. + 
