Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov Earth Poems

  • 1.
    Clouds--ye eternal wanderers in hunting grounds of air,
    High o'er the verdant Steppes, wide through the blue of heaven--
    Coursing fraternal,--say, must ye exiled as I
    From the beloved North to the far South be driven?
    ...
  • 2.
    Faithful before thee, Mother of God, now kneeling,
    Image miraculous and merciful--of thee
    Not for my soul's health nor battles waged, beseeching,
    Nor yet with thanks or penitence o'erwhelming me!
    ...
  • 3.
    Sailless and without a rudder,
    On the ocean of the air--
    Float the choirs of stars harmonious,
    'Mid the mists eternal there;
    ...
  • 4.
    At midnight an angel was crossing the sky,
    And quietly he sang;
    The moon and the stars and the concourse of clouds
    Paid heed to his heavenly song.
    ...
  • 5.
    Through the rocks in wildest courses
    Seethes the Terek grim of mood,
    Tempest howling its bewailing,
    Pearled with foam its tearful flood.
    ...
  • 6.
    With winged footsteps now I hasten
    Unto the far cold North away,
    Kasbek,--thou watchman of the East,
    To thee, my farewell greetings say!
    ...
  • 7.
    I feel I'd like to be alone
    with you, friend, if you'll stay:
    my time on earth is nearly gone;
    at least that's what they say.
    ...
  • 8.
    Alone I set out on the road;
    The flinty path is sparkling in the mist;
    The night is still. The desert harks to God,
    And star with star converses.
    ...

Emily Dickinson Poem
Did you ever stand in a Cavern's Mouth
 by Emily Dickinson

Did you ever stand in a Cavern's Mouth-
Widths out of the Sun-
And look-and shudder, and block your breath-
And deem to be alone

In such a place, what horror,
