DROVES, by SERGEY ALEXANDROVICH YESENIN Poem Explanation First Line: Upon green hills in droves the horses graze Alternate Author Name(s): Yesenin, Sergei | ||||||||
Upon green hills wild droves of horses blow The golden bloom off of the days that go. From the high hillocks to the blue-ing bay Falls the sheer pitch of heavy manes that sway. They toss their heads above the still lagoon Caught with a silver bridle by the moon. Snorting in fear of their own shadow, they, To screen it with their manes, await the day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TRANSFIGURATION: 3 by SERGEY ALEXANDROVICH YESENIN HOPES, PAINTED by SERGEY ALEXANDROVICH YESENIN GOODBYE, MY FRIEND by SERGEY ALEXANDROVICH YESENIN BUCOLIC COMEDY: SPINNING SONG by EDITH SITWELL HE GOADS HIMSELF by LOUIS UNTERMEYER HOLY POEMS: 2 by GEORGE BARKER GO DOWN DEATH; A FUNERAL SERMON by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS' by SARA TEASDALE MY CRYSTAL BRIDE by WILLIAM EDWARD ADAMS THE CHELSEA PENSIONERS by SUSANNA BLAMIRE |
