	A
	-
Who ll be honoured and praised	B
who ll be dead and abused	C
that s only known these days	D
to power s sycophantic crew	E
	-
To honour Pushkin or not	F
perhaps no one would know	G
were it not for their dissertations	D
that shed light on our darkness so	D
	-
But Blok happily isn t like that	H
his case is a different one	I
He didn t come down from Sinai	J
or adopt us as his sons	D
	-
Eternal owned by no programme	K
beyond systems and schools	D
he s not been manufactured	L
or thrust down our throats by fools	D
	-
	-
	-
As the wind like the wind Like the wind	M
that shrieked on the estate in those days	D
when Fil ka the postilion still galloped	N
at the head of a team of six bays	D
	-
And grandfather was still alive	O
crystal pure Jacobin radical soul	P
his gusty grandson close behind	M
by a fingerbreadth and as bold	Q
	-
That wind that penetrated	R
under his ribs into his spirit	S
entered his verse and was praised	B
in good times and in evil	T
	-
That wind s everywhere The house	D
trees country and rain	U
in his third book of poetry	V
in The Twelve in death the same	W
	-
	-
	-
Wide wide wide	X
river and field stretch away	Y
It s haymaking time	Z
it s communal work today	Y
	-
And the mowers at the bend	A2
have no time to stand and gaze	D
The mowing made Blok wild	B2
the young squire grasped a scythe	C2
	-
missed a hedgehog at a swipe	D2
then two adders were sliced	E2
	-
But his lessons weren t complete	F2
You idler you slacker they cried	X
Ah childhood Ah school so dry	J
Oh the songs of the makers of hay	Y
	-
At twilight clouds from the east	G2
north and south are overcast	H2
Wind unseasonable and fierce	D
suddenly blows in and hacks	D
at mower s scythes at the reeds	D
hacks at the prickly copse	D
where the river bends runs deep	I2
	-
Ah childhood Ah school so dry	J
Oh the songs of the makers of hay	Y
Wide wide wide	X
river and field stretch away	Y
	-
	-
	-
The horizon s sinister sudden	I
and dawn is streaked with blood	R
like unhealed lacerations	D
on a reaper s legs dark blood	R
	-
No counting the gaps in the sky	J
tempests and storms the omen	I
and the air of the marsh is high	J
with water that s rust and iron	J2
	-
Over woods gullies and roads	D
over villages and farms	D
the lightning in the clouds	D
prophesies earth s harm	K2
	-
When the rim of the city sky	J
is purple like that and rusty	V
the State s shaken by and by	J
a hurricane strikes our country	V
	-
Blok read the writing above	L2
To him the heavens were set	M2
on foul weather presages of	L2
whirlwind cyclone tempest	N2
	-
Blok foresaw that storm and stress	D
It etched with its fiery features	D
fear and longing for that excess	D
on his life and his verses	D
