BORODINO
Excerpt from the poem Borodino by M. Lermontov (1814-1841)
The day had come! In serried crowds
The French advanced through smoky clouds
And made for our redoubt.
Dragoons with horse-tails dark and slight,
And lancers with their pennons bright,
Deploying slowly into sight,
Would put us soon to rout.
No more such combats will be seen;
The flags displayed a ghostly sheen,
Through smoke oft pierced by fire.
Loud clashed the steel, the grape shot hissed;
The weary swordsmen would desist;
The heaps of bloody dead unmissed
By cannon balls rose higher.
Our foes that day had truly felt
Where Russian skill and vigour dwelt,
We fought them hand to hand.
The earth was shaking like each breast,
A thousand guns the sky addressed,
Tore horse and man together pressed
In battle for our land.
