I have a 1978 edition first printed in 1976 of Mikhail Lermontov
"Selected Works" published by "Progress." The corresponding lines are on
p. 101 there, and they are - and the whole poem as well - translated by
Avril Pyman. He also wrote the Foreword, and translated a number of other
Lermontov's works published in the same book.

Here's his translation of the lines:

Hour of parting, hour of meeting,
Brings them neither joy nor sorrow;
Nor regrets for past fast fleeting;
Nor desires for any morrow.


Sincerely,

Edward Dumanis <dumanis at buffalo.edu>
