<br/>The Dnieper glimmers; Akkerman's lamp shines and harrows. <br/> <br/>I stand in stillness, hear the migratory cranes, <br/>Their necks and wings beyond the reach of preying hawks; <br/>Hear where the sooty copper glides across the plains, <br/> <br/>Where on its underside a viper writhes through stalks. <br/>Amid the hush I lean my ears down grassy lanes <br/>And listen for a voice from home.
