A Gust Of Wind, A Howl Of Snow… Poem by Vic Postnikov

A Gust Of Wind, A Howl Of Snow…

Rating: 5.0


A gust of wind, a howl of snow…
Yet, for a moment, in my mind,
A land, a distant shore, would glow
With faded colours from behind.

And like a dried-up feather-grass
My ancient longings spring from sleep…
I try to steal through a snowy pass,
Yet to the precipice I creep.

Night, woods and snow I have to wade,
To haul the burden of my lot…
Then, suddenly – a little hut,
And girl is singing in the glade.

- Alexander Blok,1919
