On the Field of Kulicovo poem – Aleksandr Blok poems | Poetry Monster

A poem by Alexander Block – Alexandre Block – Alexandr Blok – Александр Блок
(1880-1921)

The river stretched. It flows, idly grieves,

And washes both banks.

In steppe, above light clay of cliffs

Rinks mourn in ranks.

O Russia! Dear wife! With clearness and pain

We see the lengthy way!

It sent an arrow of ancient Tartar reign;

In breast it lay.

The way through steppes and an incessant plight,

Through your, o Russia, lot!

And alien dark and dark of night

I fear not.

Let be the night. We’ll ride and light in gloom

Camp-fires late.

The holy flag will flash in fume,

And Khan’s steel blade …

And endless battle! We only dream of peace

Through blood and dust …

The mare of steppes flies on and flees,

And tramples the grass …

There’s no end! The miles and cliffs flash past

Stop crazy flood!

The frightened clouds go fast,

Sun sets in blood!

Sun sets in blood! Blood streams from heart away!

O cry, my heart …

There’s no peace! Through steppe the bay

Prolongs the flight!
