Herd
There are herds of horses in the green hills
They blow away the golden plaque from the days with their nostrils.
From a high mound to a blue bay
The pitch of the swaying manes fell.
Their heads tremble over still water,
And catches the moon with their silver bridle.
Snoring in fright at his own shadow,
With manes they are waiting for a new day.
*
Spring day rings over the horse's ear
With a friendly desire for the first flies.
But by evening the horses are over the meadows
They kick and flap their ears.
All sharper ringing, stuck on the hooves,
Sometimes it sinks in the air, sometimes it hangs on the willows.
And only a wave will reach for the star,
Flies flash like ashes on the water.
*
The sun went out. Quiet in the meadow.
The shepherd plays a song on the horn.
Staring foreheads, listening to the herd,
What the swirling gamayun sings to them.
And the echo is frisky, slipping over their lips,
Carries their thoughts to unknown meadows.
Loving your day and night darkness,
For you, O motherland, I composed that song.
1915
