mother of sorrows

One raven to another flies,
One raven to another cries:
โRaven! Where should we dine out?
How are we to make that choice?โ
The other raven replies in turn:
โI know where dinner can be had;
In the open fields, beneath a willow,
There lies the body of a knight.
Who killed him and why
Only his falcon knows,
And his jet-black mare,
And his maiden fair.
The falcon flew off into the grove,
His enemy sat astride his mare,
And his maiden awaits her sweetheart,
Thinking him still alive, not dead.โ
Alexander Pushkin, Voron.
