Give me comfortless seasons of sickness, Visitations of wrath and of wrong On my house; Lord, take child and companion, And destroy the sweet power of song. Thus I pray at each matins, each vespers, After these many wearying days, That the storm-cloud which broods over Russia May be changed to a nimbus ablaze. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COURAGE by ANNA ADREYEVNA GORENKO I SAID TO THE CUCKOO: 'TILL I DIE' by ANNA ADREYEVNA GORENKO LIKE A WHITE STONE by ANNA ADREYEVNA GORENKO NO, NO, I DID NOT LOVE YOU - GLADLY by ANNA ADREYEVNA GORENKO THE SUMMER GARDEN by ANNA ADREYEVNA GORENKO THIS RUSSIAN SOIL by ANNA ADREYEVNA GORENKO REQUIEM by ANNA ADREYEVNA GORENKO BROAD GOLD by ANNA ADREYEVNA GORENKO SECRECY PROTESTED by THOMAS CAREW |
