Transfiguration: III

Sergei Yesenin

EH, Russians,

Fowlers of the universe.

You who trailed heaven with the net of dawn,

Lift your trumpets!

Beneath the plow of storm

The dumb earth roars.

Golden-tusked, the colter breaks

The cliffs.

A new sower

Roams the fields.

New seeds

He casts into the furrows.

A guest of light drives toward us

In a coach.

Across the clouds

A mare races.

The breech-band on the mare:

The blue;

The bells on the breech-band:

The stars.
