Among storms, among fires, Among burning
passions, In elemental, flaming strife, It flies
to us from the heavens A heavenly creature to
earth's son With gaze of clearest azure And on
the rebellious sea It pours a soothing balm.

Oleg, the wise Prince, roused to
arm,Cried "Vengeance on the ruthless hordeOf
raiding Chosars! Field and farmMy men shall put
to fire and sword!"And when his faithful horse
was brought,He rode out with his knights and
men,In damascened, gold armor, wrought,By some
deviceful Saracen.Before his men he rode in
pride,Their hero-prince, and nothing
fearedBut, ere he reached the forest-sideFrom
out its darkling deeps appearedDread Perun's
prophet, old and wise,Who studied in the secret
shrineThat he might in each man's own eyesHis
destiny and doom divine.The brave Prince rode
towards him, and cried"O Wizard, favored of the
gods,What woe or weal shall me betide?How soon
shall I, beneath the sods,Lie buried, while my
foes rejoice?Fear naught nor speak with
faltering words.Whate'er my doom, be thine the
choice
Of all the horses in my herds!"

"No wizard dreads an earthly lord!"The
old man scornful answer flung"And naught
availeth bribe or swordTo loose or bind the
prophet s tongue.Heaven's secrets are not bought
and soldThe future's veiled in mist and
gloomYet, as a tale already told,On thy bright
brows I read thy doom.""Mark well this day the
words I speak,For, ever, to the warrior
fameBrings solace, when he waxes weakWith years
and wounds. Know thou, thy nameIs victory! The
nations yieldBefore thine army's dread
advanceEnvied of all, thy golden shieldHangs
o'er the gate of proud Byzance."The blue sea's
treacherous waves to thee,Though lashed to
storm, no scathe shall bringThey know thee.
Lord of Victory!Nor dread the arrow or the
sling,Or traitorous dagger for thy lifeTo all
is sacred and no blowShall pierce thine armour
in the strifeWith thee an unseen guard doth
go.""Thy horse, that dreads no furious
fray,Hath borne thee well in many landsAnd
like a rock amid the sprayAmong the whistling
shafts he stands,Or bears thee through the brunt
of spears,Obedient to thy lightest breathNor
frost, nor fight, with thee he fearsYet, even
he shall be thy death."

I remember a wonderful moment As before
my eyes you appeared, Like a vision, fleeting,
momentary, Like a spirit of the purest beauty.
In the torture of hopeless melancholy, In the
bustle of the world's noisy hours, That voice
rang out so tenderly, I dreamed of that lovely
face of yours.The years flew quickly. The
storm's blast Scattered the dreams of former
times, And I forgot your tender voice, And the
features of your heavenly face. In remoteness,
in gloomy isolation, My days dragged quietly,
nothing was new, No godlike face, no
inspiration, No tears, no life, no love, no you.
Then to my soul an awakening came, And there
again your face appeared, Like a vision,
fleeting, momentary, Like a spirit of the purest
beauty. And my heart beats with a rapture new,
And for its sake arose again A godlike face, an
inspiration, And life, and tears, and love, and
you.

Snow, frost and sunshine lovely morning!
Yet you, dear love, its magic scorning,
Are still abed... Awake, my sweet!..
Cast sleep away, I beg, and, rising,
Yourself a northern star, the blazing
Aurora, northern beauty, meet.
Last night a snowstorm raged, remember
A turbid haze swam in the sombre,
Wind-ravaged sky, and through the grey
Murk of the clouds the moon shone dully,
And you sat listless, melancholy
But now - look out the window, pray

'Neath lucid skies of clearest azure
The winter's rich and dazzling treasure,
Her gorgeous rugs of snow are spread.
The wood is etched against them darkly,
The furs, rime-starred, are green and sparkling
In shiny mail the stream is clad.
A mellow glow like that of amber
Illumes the room... 'Tis good to linger
Beside the gaily crackling stove,
And think and dream... But let our honest
Brown mare without delay be harnessed
That we may take a sledge ride, love.
We'll give free rein to her, and lightly,
The snow of morning gleaming brightly,
Skim over it, and, full of glee,
Cross empty fields and empty meadows,
A once thick wood with trees like shadows,
A stream and shores long dear to me.

The storm wind covers the sky
Whirling the fleecy snow drifts,
Now it howls like a wolf,
Now it is crying, like a lost child,
Now rustling the decayed thatch
On our tumbledown roof,
Now, like a delayed traveler,
Knocking on our window pane.
Our wretched little cottage
Is gloomy and dark.
Why do you sit all silent
Hugging the window, old gran?
Has the howling of the storm
Wearied you, at last, dear friend?
Or are you dozing fitfully
Under the spinning wheel's humming?

Let us drink, dearest friend
To my poor wasted youth.
Let us drink from grief - Where's the glass?
Our hearts at least will be lightened.
Sing me a song of how the bluetit
Quietly lives across the sea.
Sing me a song of how the young girl
Went to fetch water in the morning.
The storm wind covers the sky
Whirling the fleecy snow drifts
Now it howls like a wolf,
Now it is crying, like a lost child.
Let us drink, dearest friend
To my poor wasted youth.
Let us drink from grief - Where's the glass?
Our hearts at least will be lightened.

Don't say that love will come and go,
Your friend suggests that you forget it,
He thinks that it's eternal, so
His happiness, he says he'll bet it.
Why should my soul suppress the will
That flashed and seized me suddenly,
Now let me give myself, and humbly,
All to your tenderness and thrill.
Why should I suffer? What has love
Donated me from up above?
Except for wounds and bitter tear,
Except for sorrow, pain and fear?
Though love is not a lasting thing
I'll never see it kiss the ground,
I'll die with it like the sad sound
Of an abruptly broken string.

Dont tempt me with no need
By bringing back your tenderness
All temptations of the days gone by
Are stranger to a disappointed one!
I dont believe in assurances no more,
I dont believe in love no more,
And I cant indulge in to the dreams
That once betrayed me.
Dont enhance my blind grief,
Say no words about the past
And, oh my caring friend,
Dont disturb the ill one in his dreams.
Im sleeping, Im lulled to sleep so sweetly,
Forget the dreams of past
You wont awake any love in my soul,
Just emotions.

Be silent, hide yourself, conceal Your feelings
and your dreams. And let them rise and set In
your soul's depths As soundless as the stars at
night. Admire them - and yet stay silent. How can
a heart reveal itself? How can another fathom
you? All that sustains you comprehend? A thought
once spoken is a lie. Digging disturbs the
spring. Partake of it - and yet stay
silent. Learn how to live within yourself There
is within your soul a world entire Of enigmatic,
magic thoughts. Ambient noise will muffle
them, And daylight's rays will scatter them,-
Heed their melody - and yet stay silent!..

I love the storm in the beginning of May When
the first spring thunder Playfully roars in the
blue sky. Young peals growl, The rain sprinkles,
there is dust in the air. And the sun shines on
the rainy threads. A forceful stream runs down
the mountain. Bird screams do not stop in the
forest. Forest rumpus, mountain noise All
resonates joyfully to thunders. You will say
Careless Thebe, Feeding Zeus eagle, Has
laughingly spilled The loudly-boiling potion from
the sky.

I met you and the pastCame back to life
in my dead heart.Remembering a golden time,My
heart became so warm.
Just as in late autumn
There are days, the transient hour,When
suddenly spring wafts againAnd something stirs
within us,
So, winnowed within by the breathOf
fullness my soul knew in those years,With a
rapture I thought I'd forgotten,I stare into
your dear face.
As if we'd been apart for agesI stare at
you and think I'm dreaming,And suddenly sounds
unsilenced in meCould be heard within me, but
louder!That was more than reminiscenceMy life
began to talk once more,As did in you that very
same charm,As did in my soul that very same love!

She sat upon the floor
Looking through a pile of letters,
She took them up and tossed them
Like so many cold ashes.
She took the familiar pages
And gazed at them strangely,
The way souls look from above
At their discarded bodies . . .
O, how much life was in them,
Life irrevocably lived!
O, how many bitter moments,
How much love and joy now dead! . . .
I stood silently aside
Ready to fall on my knees,
And I grew terribly sad,
As if in the presence of a dear ghost.

The sail is whitening alone
In blue obscurity of sea
What did it leave in
country own? What does it want
so far to see?..
The wind is strong, the mast is creaking,
The wave is playing with the wave
... But not a fortune is it seeking,
Nor from this fortune is
its way.
By it a stream is bright as azure,
By beams of sun it's warmed and
blessed But it is seeking gales as
treasure, As if the tempests
give a rest.

I come to the road alone
The stony path is glistening in the fog.
The night is quiet. The desert is listening to
God,
And the stars talks among themselves.
The heavens how glorious and marvelous!
The earth is sleeping in its blue glow
Why do I feel so much pain and heaviness?
What do I wait for? What do I regret?
Nothing I expect from life nowadays,
And do not regret my past at all.
I seek peace and freedom!
I wish I could forget myself and fall asleep!
But not that cold grave sleep I wish

It's boring and sad, and there's no one around
In times of my spirit's travail...
Desires!...What use is our vain and eternal
desire?..
While years pass on by - all the best years!
To love...but love whom?.. a short love is
vexing,
And permanent love's just a myth.
Perhaps look within? - The past's left no trace
All trivial, joys and distress...
What good are the passions? For sooner or later
Their sweet sickness ends when reason speaks up
And life, if surveyed with cold-blooded regard,-
Is stupid and empty - a joke...

Amid the din of the ball,
In the tumult of everyday bustle,
I chanced to see you, but a secret
Veiled your features
Only your eyes looked on sadly,
But your voice sounded so divine,
Like the sound of a distant pipe,
Like the seas playful wave.

I loved your slender figure,
And your pensive look,
And your laughter, at once sad and vibrant,
Has been ringing in my heart since then.
When, in the lonely hours of the night,
I am weary and would lie down to rest,
I see your sad eyes,
And hear your happy voice.
Then sadly, so sadly, I sink into sleep,
A sleep of dreams beyond recall.
I do not know whether I love you
But I believe that I do.

The Flower
Have you ever happened upon a simple and modest
flower in a dark grove, in the young spring
grass? (you were alone in a foreign land). It
awaited your arrival, in the dewy grass it
blossomed alone, and saved its pure scent, its
first scent, just for you. And you pluck it by
its trembling stalk and with a slow smile it
carefully into your lapel, this flower that you
have destroyed.

And so you walk along a dusty road around
you the entire field has been scorched, heat
streams down from the heavens, and your flower
has long since wilted. It grew in the quiet
shade, imbibed the morning rain and was consumed
by the hot dust, singed by the rays of noonday.
Well, no use feeling sorry about it. It was
created to spend just a moment lying close to
your heart.

I have come to you with salutation
To tell you that the Sun has risen
That it has shined its warm light
On foliage.
To tell you that the forest has awakened
That each branch of it has woken up
Every bird has woken up
And the forest is full of spring thirst.

That my soul is still ready to serve
Happiness and you.
To tell you that everything reminds me
Of happiness
That I do not know myself, that I will sing
But the song is being born.

The sparks die out, in flight
Nobody will
met us at night, We
will part on the bridge.
When the night is over, at the dusk,

After the wandering carriage.
As a farewell, tie my fringed shawl
In a knot on my neck!
Like its ends, you and me
Were close these days.

And draws one along a path of ether
To itself - there.
Oh, why is it so? In one steady gaze
All wonders dwell,
The mysterious sea of all life,
And the heavens.

Among the worlds, the sparkling spheres,
The name of One Star only I repeat...
It's not because I love Her dearly
But just because I pine with others.
And when by doubt I'm troubled
I pray to Her alone for answers.
It's not because She gives off light,
But just because with Her I don't need light.

We are two trunks ignited by lightning
Two flames in the midnight forest
We are two meteors flying in the night,
The double-stinging arrow of a single fate!
We are two horses whose reins are held
By the same hand, - bitten by one spur
We are two eyes of a single gaze,
Two trembling wings of one dream.

Willful and avid mind,-
The Russian mind is dangerous as flame
So unrestrainable, so clear,
A happy and a gloomy mind.
Like the steady hand of a compass
It sees the pole through swells and fog
It leads the timid will
From distracted dreams to life.
Like an eagle gazing through the mist
To survey the valley's dust
It soberly contemplates the earth,
Floating in a mystic night.

In my dream, I was capturing the escaping
shadows,
The escaping shadows of the fading day
I was ascending the tower, and the stairs were
trembling,
And the stairs were trembling under my feet.
And the higher I was rising, the more vivid they
were,
The more vivid they were, the shapes in the
distance,
And some sounds were heard in the distance
They were heard around me as if coming from Sky
and Earth.
And the higher I was rising, the brighter was the
blazing,
The brighter was the blazing of the mountain
peaks
And with this blazing they were caressing,
They were gently caressing the foggy glance.
And below me, the night has already descended,
The night has descended upon the dreamy earth,
But for me, the sun was still shining
The fiery sun was still shining in the distance.

I am the refinement of sluggish Russian speech,
Next to me other poets are primeval,
I was the first to divert these words
Into ringing, angry, tender sounds.
I am a sudden shift,
I am playful thunder,
I am a clear brook,
I belong to all and no one.
The foamy splash, discrete and coherent,
Semi-precious stones of a unique land,
The woodland calls of a green May
I'll grasp it all, claim it from others.
Eternally young, like a dream,
Strong with love
For myself and others,
I am refined verse.

Mine is not a wisdom that would suit others,
I only put the fleeting into verse.
In every fleeting thing I see worlds
Full of fickle, colorful play.
Sages, curse me not. Why bother?
I am a mere cloud, full of fire.
I am a mere cloud. See me float.
I call to dreamers...Not to you!

I entered this world to see the sun
And the blue horizon.
I entered this world to see the sun
And the towering mountains.
I entered this world to see the ocean
And the bright array of vales.
I encompassed worlds in a single glance
I am master of all I survey.
I triumphed over cold oblivion
To create my dream.
In each moment I stream with revelation,
And I always sing.
My dream was born through suffering,
But I am loved for that.
Who can rival the strength of my song?
No one, no one.

A girl sang in the church choirOf all who
are weary in foreign lands,Of all the ships gone
out to sea,Of all who have forgotten their joy.
Thus her voice sang, flying up to the
dome,And a ray of sun shone on her white
shoulder,And from the darkness all watched and
listenedAs the white dress sang in the ray.
And it seemed to all that joy would
come,That all ships had reached shelter in
peaceful harbors,That all weary people in
foreign landsHad found themselves a serene life.
And the voice was sweet, and the ray was
thin,And only above, at the altar gates,In
touch with Mystery, - a child weptBecause no one
will ever return...

All valor I forgot and noble deedsAnd
glory on this grief-filled earth,While in a
simple frame your faceGlowed before me on the
desk.
The hour arrived, you left the house.I
flung the cherished ring into the night.You
pledged yourself to someone else,And I forgot
your lovely face.
The days flew by, a cursed swirling
swarm...Liquor and passion tortured my
existence...I recollected you inside the
church,Called out to you as I would to my
youth...
I called. You would not look around,I
wept, but you were pitiless.Sadly you wrapped
yourself in a sky blue cloakWent out the door
into the damp night.
I do not know, my sweet and tender
oneWhere you found shelter for your pride...I
sleep quite soundly, and I dream about the
cloakYou wore, as you went out into the night...
I dream no more of tenderness or
glory,They all have passed, my youth is
gone!With my own hand I've taken off my
deskYour face, inside its simple frame.

Oh, how desperately I want to live
Immortalize the real,
Personify thefaceless,
Give flesh to the nonexistent!
Life's crushing dream may smother me
I may suffocate as I dream, -
And yet a lighthearted youth, perhaps
Will say of me in times to come
Let us forgive his gloom - could it be
That it was really his secret drive?
He's but a child of goodness and light,
He's but freedom's triumph!

Fine is the wine that is in love with us,
The goodly bread we wait for from the oven,
And woman whom we have possessed, at last,
After we've suffered under yoke her own.
But what to do if a red sunset freezes
Above a sky that's drowning in cold,
Where there is silence and unearthly peace,
What can one do with the immortal ode?

You can't eat it, or drink, or even kiss ...
The moment fled, and next one now hovers,
And we wring hands, but yet once more miss
We are condemned to miss and miss it over.
Just as a boy, forgetting games and friends,
Sometimes beholds the girls bath in a river
And, knowing nothing of the loving trends,
Is yet tormented by a hidden fever
As once in time on overgrowing banks
The moisten creature holed in despair
Of self impotence, feeling on its back
Wings - still unformed and very feeble pair, -
So century after century - when, O Christ?
Under the knife of liberal arts and nature
The flesh breaks down and the spirit cries
As they bear organs of the sixth sensation.

Blizzards were blowing everywhere
Throughout the land. A candle burned upon the
table, A candle burned.
As midgets in the summer fly Towards a
flame, The snowflakes from the yard swarmed to
The window pane.
And, on the glass, bright snowy rings And
arrows formed. A candle burned upon the table,
A candle burned.
And on the white illumined ceiling Shadow
were cast, As arms and legs and destinies
Fatefully crossed.

Two slippers fell on to the floor With a
light sound, And waxen tears dripped from the
candle Onto a gown.
No object in the misty whiteness Could be
discerned. A candle burned upon the table, A
candle burned.
A mild draught coming from the corner
Blew on the candle, Seduction's heat raised two
wings crosswise As might an angel.
It snowed and snowed that February All
through the land. A candle burned upon the
table, A candle burned.

The noise subsides. I walk onto the
stage.I listen closely to the echo of the
humAnd, leaning on the doorway, try to
gaugeJust what will happen in the age to come.
The twilight of the night has gatheredA
thousand opera-glasses pointing at me. If only
you are willing, Abba Father, I pray to you,
please take this cup from me.
I love your plan, so fixed and
stubbornAnd I agree to play this role.But, as
of now, there is a different drama,This time,
dismiss me, I implore.
The plot is predetermined to
proceed,The outcome of my destiny is
sealed.There's Pharisees, hypocricy and greed.
And life is not a walk across a field.

I have come back to my city, familiar to
the point of tears,To the blood in my veins, to
my childhoods swollen tonsils.You have come
back here so swallow up quicklyThe
cod-liver-oil of the Leningrad river-lamps
Quickly make up your mind to the short December
dayWhen the air is a mess of egg-yolk and evil
tar.Petersburg! I do not wish to die yetAll my
telephone numbers are with you.
Petersburg! I still have addressesBy which I
shall find the voices of the dead.I live on a
back-staircase. Wrenched out with the fleshThe
noise of a bell strikes in my temple,
And all night long I wait for welcome
guestsStirring at the fetters of door-chains.

someone needs it, of course?then someone wants
them there,calling those droplets of spittle
pearls? And wheezing,in the blizzards of
midday dust,he rushes to God,fearing hes out
of time,and sobbing,he kisses Gods sinewy
hands,tells Him that its important,pleads to
Him that the star must shine!vowingthat he
wont survive a starless torment!And later,he
wanders, worried,though seemingly calm and
fit,and tells somebodyNow?Nothing frightens
you?Right?!Listen!if the stars are lit,then
someone must really need them?then it is

I need a miracle, Christ, My Lord! Here,
now, before the sun can rise!O, let me pass on,
while the worldIs like a book before my eyes.
No, You are fair and will not judgeIts not
your time, and so live on.For You have given me
too much!I long to take all roads - in one!I
crave it all With a gypsys passion,To raid and
loot, singing a song, And hearing organs, feel
compassion,And rush to war, - an AmazonWish
on the stars, up in a dungeon, Lead kids through
shadows on the way,Turn yesterday into a
legend,And suffer madness every day!I love the
helmet, cross and veil,My soul is but a moments
gleam... Youve made my youth a fairytale,
-Now, let me die - at seventeen!

Under caresses of an ivy plaidI recall
yesterday's dream.What was it? Who's been
defeated?Whose victory?
Rethinking everything once more,Torturing
myself once again.In this, for which no word I
know,Did love exist?
Who was the hunter? Who - the prey?
Everything devilishly upside down.
What with its lengthy purring understood
The Siberian cat?
In this self-willing one anotherWho in whose
hand was but a ball?Whose heart flew - yours or
mine,Do you recall?And still again - what has
it been too?What do I want, what do I pity?And
I don't know Did I win? Did somebodyConquer me?

foam am I.
Who is made from mud, who is made from

I resurrect with each wave,

the foam - the high foam -The high foam of the
