Groaning day and night;
Its lovely little friend has been away from it for a long time.
It no longer purrs,
There are no wheat grains around. Take a bite,
It silently shed tears,
With endless sadness.
It flies from one soft branch to another,
It's waiting from all directions.
Dear girlfriend back.
Waiting for my girlfriend ... but waiting for nothing,
It seems that fate is playing tricks on it!
A loving and loyal pigeon.
Only a gaunt face.
It finally lay on the grass,
Cover his mouth with feathers,
No more singing, no more lamenting,
This pigeon ... sleeps forever!
Suddenly, a mother pigeon flew from a distance in disappointment.
Rest in peace with the one you love,
Give it a call;
The mother pigeon runs around her relatives,
Heartache, moaning, crying-
But ... the beautiful and charming Gloria.
Can't wake up cute little friends!

John Burroughs, an American writer of natural literature, said, "Birds are the closest to poets, because only the poet's feelings are closely related to birds." We can clearly understand this "close connection" from the famous lyric poem "The Moaning of a Grey Dove" by Russian sentimental poet Dmitrieff. In the history of world poetry, there are many lyric poets who describe the image of birds brilliantly, such as Shelley's lark, Keats' nightingale and Hardy's thrush. The image of grey pigeon in this poem is also an outstanding achievement in the history of world poetry in terms of expressing "close connection".
Dmitrieff's major literary achievements are lyric poems, satirical poems, poetic stories and fables. He met Karamlau in the early 1990s of 18 and became a close friend and literary advocate of karamzin. This lyric poem and his poetic novel "The Fashionable Wife" have won him a great reputation and are regarded as one of the main representatives and founders of Russian sentimental literature. He likes to write in iambic, and he writes poems in spoken English. Moreover, his works have a strong musicality. The poem "A Crane Groans" is as vivid and fluent as the singing of birds, so it has been set to music many times. Dmitrieff's creation has a certain influence on poets in the early19th century, such as Bachu Skov, Rukovski, and especially Vyazemski.
In this lyric poem The Moaning of a Grey Pigeon, the poet expresses the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet in the bird world with the emotional experience of a pair of pigeons. The first appearance was a gray male pigeon, who was very sad because his lovely partner left him and groaned painfully day and night. The poet described the emotional changes of the pigeon before she died in a very delicate and sentimental style. Describe this pigeon "with endless sadness" and "silent tears". Without the cheerful cooing and pecking, it just waits for the return of its "girlfriend" with a glimmer of hope and an increasingly gaunt face. However, before this moment, the gray dove ended her moaning and fell asleep forever.
The tragedy is not over yet. Just after the death of the grey pigeon, the mother pigeon it had been waiting for arrived late. Then, the poet used the same sentimental style to express the sad mood of the mother pigeon. The mother pigeon "feels like a knife cut", groaning and crying in pain, but no matter how she surrounds, no matter how hard she calls, she can't wake up her lovely little friend.
Unlike karamzin's Raissa and other works, the lyric poem The Moaning of a Grey Dove mainly shows deep sympathy for the lower class in human society, but turns its perspective to nature and looks for the root of tragedy in all natural things. However, the description of all things in nature also has profound meaning. In the concrete description, Dmitrieff is also good at personification, not only using the words "companion" and "girlfriend", but also using the name "Heroya" of the shepherdess in the story of Daphne and Heroya in the human world to address the mother pigeon, which highlights its * * * nature with human beings. In terms of words, some main words are used in the poem, such as "grey dove" and "companion", which highlight their emotional color in the form of little finger and nickname. In particular, the poet made an in-depth exploration of the tragic root of the bird world and reached the same conclusion as the human world: "This is fate playing tricks on it!" " "
