HIGH UP ON A SNOWY PEAK, by IVAN ALEKSEYEVITCH (ALEXEYVICH) BUNIN Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Only for those who occupy the peaks | |||
High up on a snowy peak, I carved a sonnet with a steel blade. Time passes. To this day, perhaps, The snows still bear my solitary mark. High up, where skies are ever blue, In the exhilarating clarity of winter, Only the sun to witness, as my knife Inscribed the poem in the jeweled berg. It makes me glad to think a poet Will understand me. And I hope that he Will never choose the valley's mass acclaim.
