A SONG, by IVAN ALEKSEYEVITCH (ALEXEYVICH) BUNIN Poet's Biography First Line: I'm a plain girl, whose hands are stained with earth Last Line: And my black braid will serve to strangle me. | ||||||||
I'm a plain girl, whose hands are stained with earth. He is a fishermanhe's gay and keen. The far white sail is drowning in the firth. Many the seas and rivers he has seen. The women of the Bosphorus, they say, Are good-looking ... and II'm lean and black. The white sail drowns far out beyond the bay. It may be that he never will come back. I shall wait on in good and evil weather. If vainly, take my wage, go to the sea And cast the ring and hope away together. And my black braid will serve to strangle me. | Other Poems of Interest...THE GOD OF NOON by IVAN ALEKSEYEVITCH (ALEXEYVICH) BUNIN INEVITABLY (2) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO W.P.: 2 by GEORGE SANTAYANA THE DANCERS by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY A LOVER'S QUARREL by ROBERT BROWNING THAT SUCH HAVE DIED by EMILY DICKINSON CHRISMUS ON THE PLANTATION by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR |
