A LITTLE BLACK MAN RAN THROUGH THE CITY, by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK Poem Explanation Poet's Biography | ||||||||
A little black man ran through the city. He extinguished the lanterns, climbing the stairs. Slow and white, dawn was approaching, With the strange little man climbing the stairs. Where quiet, soft shadows brooded over the town, Where the yellow strips of the lanterns were sleeping, Morning twilight upon the steps lay down, Into the curtains, into the door-shadows creeping. Oh, how poor is the city with dawn at her windows lying! Crouching outside, the little black man is crying. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AUTUMN LOVE by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK DEMON by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK RUSSIA by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK SHADOWS ON THE WALL by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK THE LADY UNKNOWN by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK THE STEPS OF THE COMMANDER by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK THE UNKNOWN WOMAN by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK VOICE FROM THE CHORUS by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK VULTURE by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK INTO CRIMSON DARK THOU GOEST by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK WHEN MOUNTAIN ASH IN CLUSTERS REDDENS by ALEXANDER (ALEKSANDR) ALEXANDROVICH BLOK |
