Nikolay Alekseyevich Nekrasov Death Poems

  • 1.
    Here's a vestibule. On holidays
    Overcome by slavish fear,

    With little bile and much emotion:

    With medals on his breast;
    He scarcely lives, but yet contrives
    To drink with all the rest.

Homes of Coogee, homes of Bondi, and the lighthouse on South Head.
For in loneliness and hardship-and with just a touch of pride-
