| - | |
| And the town is frozen solid in a vice | B |
| Trees walls snow beneath a glass | C |
| Over crystal on slippery tracks of ice | B |
| the painted sleighs and I together pass | C |
| And over St Peter s there are poplars crows | D |
| there s a pale green dome there that glows | D |
| dim in the sun shrouded dust | E |
| The field of heroes lingers in my thought | F |
| Kulikovo s barbarian battleground | G |
| The frozen poplars like glasses for a toast | H |
| clash now more noisily overhead | I |
| As though it was our wedding and the crowd | J |
| were drinking to our health and happiness | K |
| But Fear and the Muse take turns to guard | L |
| the room where the exiled poet is banished | M |
| and the night marching at full pace | N |
| of the coming dawn has no knowledge | O |
