Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov Sun Poems

• 1. The Palm Branch Of Palestine
  Palm branch of Palestine, oh tell me,
  In that far distant home-land fair,
  Wast rooted in the mountain gravel
  Or sprung from some vale garden rare?
  ...
• 2. The Leaf
  A little oak leaf tore off from its branch
  Was driven o'er the steppe by a cruel gale;
  Dried up and withered from the cold, the heat and sorrow
  It finally alit by the Black Sea shore.

• 3. Sail
  A lonely sail is flashing white
  Amdist the blue mist of the sea!...
  What does it seek in foreign lands?
  What did it leave behind at home?..
  ...
• 4. In High Noon's Heat
  In high noon's heat in a Caucasian valley
  I lay quite still, a bullet in my breast;
  The smoke still rose from my deep wound,
  As drop by drop my blood flowed out.
  ...
• 5. The Dream
  In noon's heat, in a dale of Dagestan
  With lead inside my breast, stirless I lay;
  The deep wound still smoked on; my blood
  Kept trickling drop by drop away.
  ...
• 6. Tamara
  Where waves of the Terek are waltzing
  In Dariel's wickedest pass,
  There rises from bleakest of storm crags
  An ancient grey towering mass.

• 7. To Kasbek
  With winged footsteps now I hasten
  Unto the far cold North away,
  Kasbek,--thou watchman of the East,
  To thee, my farewell greetings say!
  ...
• 8. The Sail
  A single sail is bleaching brightly
  Upon the waves caressing bland,
  What seeks it in a stranger country?
  Why did it leave its native strand?
