IN PRISON
Russian Folk Songs with English Translations p 28 # 23

Mor-ning comes and noon and night-fall,
Ne'er the light of day I see;
War-ders stand be-side my door-way
Woe, Ah woe,
Night and day, lest I might flee

Long ago all hope abandoned
Though my heart cries, Set me free
Bound am I in chains of iron
Woe, Ah woe,
Bonds that broken ne'er may be.

Hard and cruel is my bondage.
Gvyes, relentless gaolers you.
Not my hands alone you fetter
Woe, Ah woe,
But my soul is captive too.
