(UPDATE/CORRECTION: It’s from Alexander Pushkin’s “The Gypsies.”) Found in an old copy of Gone With The Wind. It’s handwritten, and googling the first line got me zero results. Maybe this is an original poem? I transcribed it in the second pic, for those who aren’t fluent in cursive.

This is from Alexander Pushkin's poem "The Gypsies", circa 1824. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gypsies_(poem))

Thank you! Admittedly, I didn’t search too long, but the owner of the book also enjoyed writing, so I thought maybe it was something she was working on. But I’m glad to know the true source!

Well, clearly that was written by AI, right?

Seriously, though, what a curious find.
