To My NannyAlexander Pushkin

This is the generation who abandons their experienced generation in the old age homes. But they are the ones who always took care of a generation living at present. And the poem shows the relation of a grandmother to her grandchild

Alexander Pushkin Alexander Pushkin (1799- 1837) was born in Moscow, Russia. He is 'Russia’s Bard‘ and one of the most important contributors to modern Russian literature. A proponent of social reform, Pushkin belonged to an underground revolutionary movement. This sometimes interfered with his literarycareer and many of his poems, plays and historical works were censored.

To My NannyAlexander Pushkin

Dear doting sweetheart of my childhood,Companion of my austere fate!In the lone house deep in the wild woodHow patiently for me you wait.Alone beside your window sittingYou wait for me and blame the clock,While, in your wrinkled hands, your knittingFitfully falters to a stop.

Beyond the crumbling gates the pine treesShadow the road you watch so well.Nameless forebodings, dark anxieties,Oppress your heart. You cannot tellWhat visions haunt you: Now you seem toSee....

Thank You
