Poems (Radford)/Russian

by Dollie Radford

Russian

All the night and all the cay,In the desert I do stray,Through the wind and through the snow,In the darkness I must go.

When the winter days are done,Fainting in the summer sun,On the treeless plains I stray,Through the night and through the day.

From your heart which is my home,Sad and outcast I do roam,Lost beneath an alien sky,While the suns and moons go by.

Deep the pain that does not end,Sharp the cry that I do send,From the desert where I roam,Sad and outcast from my home.
