VYACHESLAV IVANOV

With heart quailing like a falcon,
Prison-pent,
Prison-pent,—

With heart baleful like the sun at
Morn's ascent,
Morn's ascent,—

With heart like the evening sun, a
Sacrament,
Sacrament . . .

Thus when thou the godhead meetest,
Heart, shalt grow . . .
Heart, shalt grow . . .

And on the final threshold greetest,
Heart, shalt grow . . .
Heart, shalt grow . . .

From the peace-cup, O oblation,
Quaff content,
Quaff content,

Wine with mute conciliation
Blends content . . .
Blends content . . .
