Poems by Mikhail Lermontov
The Dagger
... Forged were you by the Georgian with revenge in the mind, ...
Meditation
... There reigns within our souls a kind of chill constriction, ...
The Dispute
... Hark! there rings the clash of weapons! ...
Clouds
... Long strings of snowy pearls stretched over azure plains! ...
The Prayer
... The soul believes, the tears break forth-- ...
In High Noon's Heat
... His breast was blackened by a smoking wound, ...
Bored And Sad
... And life, if surveyed with cold-blooded regard,- ...
From "Demon"
... They know not,--nor grief, nor rest-- ...
The Cliff
... Slow and tortured tears, he stands there, keeping ...
Like An Evil Spirit
... Thy face,--the altar's Godhead sign! ...
The Sail
... And dreams in storms its peace to find! ...
"Forever you, the unwashed Russia!"
... From their eye that sees through ground, ...
The Dream
... Within his breast a smoking wound showed black, ...
Tamara
... The sun tore the night's veiling soft, ...
The Angel
... The moon and the stars and the concourse of clouds ...
